My child uses discord to coordinate play across multiple platforms, Xbox, mobile, and switch.

Her friends are spread all over the country and they are constant on discord chatting, sharing memes, and messing around with bots. It’s a pretty wild thing to witness.

As a life long techie that got started on BBSes, AOL punters, diablo over dialup I’ve always thought of myself at the cutting edge. Now I watch as kids adopt tech en-mass that I’m not the target for.

Discord hasn’t “won” but they’ve built an extremely strong and sticky offering.




Are there different servers for her games? Is it with friends she made in person in the past or are these friends she made via these online communities?


Yes people she met IRL. I'm not ready for her to go fully out into the wild internet yet
