Discord is a communication program that allows us to communicate together, have discussions and exchange information. The advantage of Discord is that it is free, grants a lot of flexibility, but also privacy. Furthermore, it is available online in a browser, as well as on different platforms, such as Windows, MacOS, Appstore, Android etc.
