Discord is currently valued at $15bn (£12bn). At any given time, a server can host hundreds of thousands of users.
Most servers hosted on Discord are invitation-only and private, not allowing outsiders to find or even search for them.Įach group or server in Discord has several channels, which function as separate chatrooms, divided by topic. Unlike most social media, such as Twitter or Facebook, the platform is decentralised, with communities organised into public or private groups known as servers, for gamers to interact.
