When i joined steemit, i learned about MSP from where i can get free upvote. At that time i use to think discord is a place where someone can get free upvote and i laugh on myself when i thik about those days. I hope, answering this question will help those people out who thinks same as i used to think before.

Through a steemit account one can mostly do post and comment. But you can't keep posting/commenting all day long(at least after hf20) from your account for communication. So, a community will require a medium to communicate with each other . That's why in steemit, All communities had to choose a medium to interact with each other of steemit and they choose discord.

Now the question arrives, why discord?

There are many medium of by which steemit communites could go through like facebook,skype and etc etc but they choose discord because it provides many features without any cost. I don't think any other medium provide this much features. You can create different channel for different purpose, can make others enebale/disable to text on specific channel and the most interesting feature i think is the bot account uses. Here anyone can create a bot account or can use existing bots. These bot makes moderation more easy. In case of steemit, many devs are creating such discord bot by which we can do all stuffs on steemit but just with a command on discord like transfer/upvote/checking account stats a specific post and many more. I don't think any other social media or chatting medium provides such feature. And this is why alsmost every steem community has a discord server.
