"Discord Refocuses on Gamers with New Redesign"
Discord is refocusing on its gaming roots by making app improvements to enhance user experience, including faster access to conversations and better voice, video, and streaming reliability. CEO Jason Citron emphasized the shift from a broad community chat app to one that deepens friendships around games. The company also plans to extend its features to more devices and has made visual updates. This strategic pivot follows a period of rapid growth and recent layoffs, as well as increased scrutiny over child safety.
