    Yeah I would consider Discord as more of a space people can “hang out” in.

      I use discord but I didn’t realize how much others used it till I got new roommates. They basically have it perpetually open on the side, a perpetual portal to their friend network

        It’s one of the easiest ways of calling and texting friends without exposing your phone number.

        I rarely open discord on my PC, but I have it as an app on my phone which is always connected.

        Yeah I open discord every morning before I open slack for work. I manage two 2k+ communities and am an active member of dozens of other niche communities… Two of which involves members meeting up regularly IRL. It’s the best tool for direct social engagement on the Internet.
