Today is @discord's 6th Birthday, but it’s been 9 years since I founded the company. After nearly a decade we’re just getting started. People are spending more and more time online and our goal is to make that time more fulfilling by creating space for people to find belonging.

I am so hype for Discord Stages rolling out today on Desktop, iOS, AND Android.
Now communities can easily host AMAs, Open mic night, debates, panels, and more.
new type of voice channel just dropped.
stage channels gives community servers better controls for audio-only events where some people can talk and others can listen as the audience.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us all these years, especially our Nitro subs. Your support allows us to focus on making Discord more useful for everyone. A big shout to the Discord team for the incredible work through such a hard year.
