Disclaimer: Excuse me if my statements are possibly utterly wrong due to me not having ever used Discord.

Wikipedia says:

> Discord is an American VoIP, instant messaging and digital distribution platform designed for creating communities.

Don't we have a metric fton of instant messengers which support VoIP and some file transfer?

What's so special about Discord?

To me as an outsider it merely seems like the kids have decided TeamSpeak isn't cool anymore and now Discord is cool.

Perhaps in a few weeks they will flock to the next voice chat which they decide is now cool. What's the big deal?
