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.
- electriclove 6y agoAre 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?
- bognition 6y agoYes people she met IRL. I'm not ready for her to go fully out into the wild internet yet
- golemiprague 6y agoI see the same thing with my kids, in some way it is the new basic, they do their first steps in setting up servers, bots and decorating which is very appealing for girls. Inadvertently I feel like discord is doing much more to attract girls to the field than a lot of other well meaning initiatives.
