Monetization

Alongside Nitro, Discord has now implemented a currency called Orbs that users can gain from completing Quests (watching advertisements and playing game promotions). The orbs can be used to pay for profile decorations and Nitro credits.

Citation doesn't support the claim

It is primarily used by gamers, but the share of users interested in other topics is growing.[11]

Adam Reiss; Zoë Richards (May 19, 2023). "Pentagon leak suspect Jack Teixeira ordered to remain in jail as he awaits trial". NBC News. Archived from the original on September 6, 2023. Retrieved June 10, 2023.

This source links to NBC news article about a US Air National Guardsman being on trial for leaking classified military documents. It doesn't say anything about share of users interested in non-gaming subjects is growing. Even if the implication was that share of users who are interested in leaking classified military documents is growing, the article doesn't really support that claim either, since we don't know whether Teixeira is a gamer from the link. ~2026-24912-35 (talk) 04:52, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

Number of languages

The number of languages that Discord is available in should be 31 (instead of 30 currently) in the infobox, to correspond the number of entries in-app and the number of languages in the list in the infobox (however the list is correct). AlexMalfr (talk) 09:13, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

I only count 28 languages in the infobox list. Are you counting things like simplified and traditional Chinese separately? Day Creature (talk) 17:38, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

Yes, counting Chinese (Simplified/Traditional) and Spanish (Spain/LATAM) as separate languages does get you to 31, which in my opinion seems like the correct number? These languages are marked separately in the Discord settings but that doesn't really matter pattersonuwu ^njz (talk) 18:13, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

Live transmission in Discord suspended in Brazil

Would this case involving the suspension of live streams in Brazil be relevant to the "Criticisms and Controversies" section?

Here some Brazilian reliable sources:

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want made. I don't know what "meta horzion os" is, but PlayStation and Xbox are consoles, not operating systems. Day Creature (talk) 21:11, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

Comment: Meta Horizon OS is the operating system that runs on Meta Quest virtual reality headsets. crtbob@talk:~$ ls contribs 08:40, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

User profiles

Users register for Discord with an email address and must create a username. Until mid-2023, to allow multiple users to use the same username, each user was assigned a four-digit number called a "discriminator" (colloquially a "Discord tag"), prefixed with "#" and added to the end of their username. Users who subscribed to Discord Nitro could change this tag to any four-digit number. This system was changed to a handle-based system in May 2023,

a fully customized discord nitro profile

}} MakotoMarth (talk) 09:05, 18 October 2026 (UTC)

removing the discriminator from usernames. This new system mandated a change of username. Users selected their new usernames in priority based on how early they registered for Discord, Nitro status, and ownership of partner and verified servers. Users criticized the impersonation risk if another user claimed their previous username.

In June 2021, Discord added a feature that allows users to add an about me section to their profiles and a custom colored banner at the top of their profile. Subscribers to Discord Nitro can upload static or animated images as their banners instead of solid colors.
