Discord seems to be having some problems as of writing.
Discord is a leading chat and community-building app on PC, and something seems to have gone wrong with it as of writing.
Discord is a free chat program used primarily by gamers for building communities and communicating with friends. The app has largely replaced competitors like Skype and older solutions like TeamSpeak as the go-to platform for gaming comms, and it's rare that the service has a widespread outage.
