Discord

@everyone

YOU'RE A FAGGOT LOL!!!

Discord is the ultimate abortion of a chat client; it was sucked from TeamSpeak and Skype's wombs before being injected into IRC's buttocks.

History

Discord was founded on May 13th, 2015, near the end of GamerGate. Praised by neets and tards for being centered around gaming while simultaneously being stupid enough for low-IQ brandishing savages to use, Dicksore quickly outperformed archaic apps like Teamspeak and Skype, while being the fiftieth nail in the coffin for IRC.

What really made it take off, though, was the 2016 election; a large amount of /pol/acks, already being lifeless husks, migrated to create support servers for their favorite Israel-loving kike shill, Donald Trump. The spike in lulzy hate crimes eventually made the lamestream (((media))) believe it was a platform for the alt-right and Trump supporters. Thanks to the moola Discord was making from this increase in users, they took little action.

However, in the summer of 2017 (dubbed the "Summer of Hate" by the Daily Butthole Stormer), a protest in Charlottesville was organized largely by alt-right Discords, including Daily Stormer itself. Unsurprisingly, the protest soured when nu-age middle-class Communists started inciting reactions from the Neo-Nazis. This ultimately escalated to some dumb shit driving a fatty whale over. As a result of the outcry, large corporations such as Google, GoDaddy, Discord, and several other irrelevant no-name services run by lefty twats began the slow-boiling process of terminating service to the salt-right, mostly to appease the moral majority. In other words, to make money by looking good.

This hasn't put a stop to the alt-right from continuing to make even more servers on Discord, though. In fact, Charlottesville has only inspired more hate boners, which has left some retards attempting to have yet another Charlottesville.

How Does Discord Work?

As explained before, Discord was born through stealing amazing features from other voice and face-based apps, before concentrating it into its own super dumbed down and modernized IRC. Everything is kept simple to appeal to the guaranteed idiocy that the consumer has.

These "amazing" features include:

Voice chat and calls
Face calls
Group chats
Empty Friend lists
Emojis
A ping system that, in good-faith, should be useful, but is abused by people with unwarranted self-importance to spam other users about shit nobody cares about
Cross-site account connection to apps such as Facebook and Xbox, so they can sell more of your personal data

Talk about redefining the wheel, huh?

The sad and disturbing truth about Discord.

Discord Nitro

And, for just ~~$4.99~~ $9.99 a month, or ~~$49.99~~ $99.99 a year, you can upgrade your account with ~~Facebook~~ Discord Nitro for access to "premium" benefits, such as:

50 custom emoji that, unless disabled by a server owner, you can mercilessly spam site-wide
Horribly compressed and animated avatars that no one will ever notice or care about
Greater file upload size, from 8MB to 50MB. Now you can share your shitty N64 roms!
The altruistic feeling of getting fucked by data miners, and still giving them money
Badge showing you stole your mom's credit card

It's important to note many of these features were heavily requested by Discord's users, or, in the case of custom emojis, used to be free-to-use features. Nice paywall!

Jew Scheming 2: Nitro Boogaloo

In late 2018, the staff of Discord realized that they weren't making enough money from auctioning off your data, so (((they))) added another benefit of Discord Nitro. If, for whatever reason, you're wasting your money on this IRC-for-zoomers client, you can now get access to a claimed "+$1,000 worth of games." Sounds a lot like an Xbox Game Pass. This is also when they significantly upped their price (from $4.99/monthly and $49.99/yearly, to $9.99/monthly and $99.99/yearly.) Why don't you just buy the games instead of supporting Discord?

As a result of adding this gaming-subscription bullshit, Discord revoked the right to sue them, alleging that class-action lawsuits could easily be abused. Now anyone who sues has to settle through arbitration (settling disputes/lawsuits/whatever outside of courts.)

Discord Servers

A majority of Discord is swamped with Ecelebs and titty streamers who spawned their own servers to further their own megalomaniac fantasies. Hell, even "artists" have their own Discord servers. If you're an aspiring e-celeb, and you don't have a Discord, you're already falling behind. Discord also has their own classification for these servers ("partner servers"), to help you avoid the narcissists and obsessive fans stationed in them. These partnered servers are closely watched and groomed by Discord, to make sure no one says any bad words, lest that server be stripped of its cow partner status.

Don't the icons of these partnered servers tell you enough about this biohazard?

Beyond partnered servers, A majority of Discord's popular-but-not-popular-enough servers are located and promoted on third party sites that are dedicated to pimping these servers out. Here you will find servers based around anime, LGBT rights, politics, roleplaying, and more excessively useless drivel. The toxicity in non-partnered servers is arguably worse, as the cult of personality centered around paranoid mod worship and being a stubborn, hateful prick far outweighs the potential to have anything close to an insightful and illuminating conversation.

The darkest recesses of Discord is home to many near-illegal or indisputably immoral servers. Doxxing and harassment, brigading-oriented servers, zoophilia-promoting, jailbait - you name it, it likely exists, just underground. More often than not, servers have home-brewed, tin-can junker bots, made out of sloppily written C++. It's also not uncommon to have your server pwned by a gorillion raid bots which spam images from Offended.

Discord Users

This is what your standard Discord user looks like.

The festering shithole of Discord, like any other social media site, is home to sad and sick fucks alike. Never far from gaming-oriented sites, drove of incels, neckbeards, atheists, and autists feed on Discord like a plague - and yet, due to its mainstream status, there is an overabundance of furries, SJWs, flamers, and the alt-left as well. The resulting culture clash is an unprecedented level of faggotry that exceeds butt-babies from 4chan and tumblr. It's actually quite common to run into stereotypical loonies on both sides of the aisle, so be wary of sensitive butthurt.
