After trying to diverge during the pandemic, Discord is refocusing on 90% of users who play the game: "We've recognized the need to focus."

On Discord's official blog, CEO Jason Citron declared discord's bold new vision, which is actually very similar to the old one. After pursuing the widest possible user base in recent years, Citron says Discord is back to its original vision: a place to hang out while playing games. "When you think about what the next 10 years will be like and what people want from the Internet, it keeps going back to the game."This blog is haunted by the lingering ghosts of the early pandemic.In the meantime, Discord has moved away from the focus of the game and tried to favor being a kind of omni platform for all kinds of communities.Dabbling in nft integration is easy and very malicious. According to the figures in the blog post, 90% of Discord's monthly users play games on Discord. "Now that the pandemic is largely behind us, after grasping the world, we realized the need to focus on being a community-centric chat app."In addition to that 90% figure, Citron shares other interesting statistics on how Discord is used today. All of these users contribute "a total of 1.5 billion hours" by running Discord while playing the game. Also, while many of us have amassed a long list of Discord servers, we obviously don't spend much time in a large community (according to Citron personally, most Discord users "hang out with a small group of friends ranging from 5 to 15)."Citron doesn't provide much detail on how Discord will deliver on its new and old vision, but it sets a goal to make Discord faster and easier to use on as many platforms as possible. Predicting what the game will look like over the next 10 years, Citron said, "Cross-platform play will be a prerequisite."To meet the expected demand for cross-platform support, Citron announced that Discord will "continue to prioritize" the power of the platform's "voice, video, and streaming technologies" and "bring Discord's capabilities to more devices for a cross-platform experience." It is a very important part of our lives.-work Already started with Discord support on Xbox and PlayStation 5. Better voice chat and streaming technology is a good idea, but given that we all basically use Discord for gaming, the reorientation makes Discord itself an ideal world, an announcement this heralds a return to a glorious era when the Internet had more places to hang out. Sure, my server list is full of podcasts, niche streamers, friend groups, and Discords for —hm—shiny Pokémon hunts, but nothing beats the old sense of finding a new forum to read. Forums on the website. You can google.
