Discord
One of the most popular instant messaging applications of recent years
is Discord. Designed for people to communicate by voice while playing
games, Discord is home to all kinds of communities these days. Discord,
which can also be accessed from mobile devices, has more than 350
million registered users and more than 150 million monthly active users
as of 2021.
Discord has some elements that are very similar to IRC systems in
operation.
Servers, which we also know from IRCs, are seen more as a community.
This community can be an institution/company, a hobby group, a study
group, or a student club.
There are channels inside the servers that we will remember from IRC,
you can think of them as specific chat rooms. There are also direct
messages, user profiles. In audio channels, users can turn on their web
cameras and share screens. They can even play games together.
Mostly used by young people, Discord has language learning, practice
communities, artificial intelligence art community and even role-playing
game communities.
Conclusion
The internet culture, which has a great impact on the lives of societies,
continues to live and change. This change, triggered by the needs of
internet users and technological developments, also changes society. All
the applications that are part of this culture, from torrent to MSN, show
people's practices rather than nostalgia. Other technologies developed
and used by people seem to continue to do so.
