Though Discord has typically been associated with online gamers, there is a growing number of users building Discord communities focused on other interests.
Among users, 70% say they use the app for gaming and other purposes, which was up from 30% in early 2020, according to a company spokesman.
Non-gaming servers include those focused on TV shows, geographical regions, sports, memes, dating and investing.
