BENEFITS OF DISCORD OR ANY OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA HELPING IN THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF STEEMIT PLATFORM || @fombae

When talking about my growth on the steemit platform, my lone social media platform to talk about will be Discord. Discord is not like our usual chat platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, etc. It is more used within the gaming community by gamers for both voice and text chat. I heard about Discord from one of my friends, who asked me to join a developer server. That is how I knew about Discord, and then I joined steemit. I noticed one of the most common communication mediums used by steemians was Discord. Discord is a free application, and not complicated to join a server. You just need an invitation link to join a server or create a server if you want.

What is Discord

Discords is an online application designed for gamers to communicate while gaming. Statistics have shown that Discord has a better performance than the game's built-in chat feature for gamers.

How Discord has improved my Skills on the steemit platform

• Servers feature

Discord gives the possibility of creating servers, which has helped most of the community on the steemit platform to own their servers. I happen to be on most of the servers of some communities I have subscribed to. Each of these servers helped me to get most updates, and issues going on the platform are being discussed. Here you can cry out your difficulties on the steemit platform, and they will always be someone to respond to your issue.

• Add friend Feature

Discord gives its user the possibility to send a friend request. With this, you can have a personal chat with another steemian without the need to exchange personal data like phone number, email, etc. With this feature, I was able to reach prominent steemians, and channel my worries outside the servers. As you have the option to add a friend, you can also block a friend LOL.

• Security Feature

The discord security level is higher than Facebook, as chat is auto encrypted and user IP is protected. It is difficult to lose data on the discord servers, as they are always an auto switch of the server in the case where a server fails. Another feature is the aspect of setting permissions and roles on different channels. This has helped me as I know where to channel particular issues without fear of data loss.

• Responsiveness

Discord has web and mobile applications. This has put me in the position of always being available online on Discord. The good thing about this app is that it doesn't need a particular driver or configuration to run. Where I find myself with my phone, I can reach out to my steemit friends.

With all the points I mentioned above, I have been able to conveniently reach out to friends on the steemit platform with no fear. Discord servers have helped me attend steemit meetings, make new friends, solved my worries, and I have also had the chance to help other steemians. I will call on steemians to join their community's servers. There is a lot that has been discussed there, which will help in their personal growth on the steemit platform.
