Is Discord really safe?
Discord was first developed as a
chat app for gamers
as it offers search functions that allow players to find live streams, events, or gamers of a particular title. The program has since been turned into an
organizational and social tool
where any topic can be discussed such as anime, self-help, and cryptocurrency, as you will see in the server name. A Discord server is a chat room where you can invite other users.
They will receive a link that allows them to join it, where they can choose to have a
text or voice chat
with other members of the server. Each server is broken down further into
channels
. They are smaller groups dedicated to discussing a specific topic either through text or voice. While all channels can be seen by other members of the server, only those that are invited to private channels can access them.
The majority of Discord servers contain only a
small group of people
. There are, however, large and more
open servers
created by other users. These users can be other people that signed-up to Discord or official game developers. Whether you’re with your friends or with thousands of other users, it's important to use Discord’s
Two-Factor Authentication
feature. Otherwise known as 2FA, this is a
time-based password
required by Discord after you submit your login credentials.

Versatile chat and VoIP app
Discord app can be used for a
variety of purposes
such as
stream games
, complete projects, or learn something new. What is important is that you and your Discord connections come together because of an
overlying theme
that can be broken down into
specific topics
. Although the terms ‘server’ and ‘channel’ may not be familiar to new users, they are the only two features that they will need to familiarize themselves with.
