Discord has evolved from a voice chat app into a social hub for teens and gamers. Here’s where it’s headed next.
Today, I’m talking to Jason Citron, the co-founder and CEO of Discord, the gaming-focused voice and chat app. You might think Discord is just Slack for gamers, but over time, it has become much more important than that, and for a growing mix of mostly young, very online users steeped in gaming culture, fandom, and other niche communities, Discord is fast becoming the hub to their entire online lives. A lot of what we think of as internet culture is happening on Discord.
I think my idea on my team is to have the worst ideas so that everyone else can have slightly better ideas. What’s one of your worst ideas that you would just never do that’s obviously a bad idea? I don’t know. I’m sure I have a lot of bad ideas. I just don’t know which ones are bad before I try them. Fair enough. The creative process is an interesting thing. We find this a lot at the company when we build features.
