Why Net Neutrality Matters
Hey everyone — we don’t normally get political, but today I want to take a brief moment to share our thoughts on the open internet. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission is proposing to roll back the 2015 Title 2 Classification laws for internet service providers (ISPs) which provides the legal groundwork for treating all internet traffic as equal.
The Four Values of Working at Discord
Years ago, when starting the company that became Discord, I wanted to build a workplace that was rewarding, challenging, and positive. To achieve this, I started with a simple question, “How do you create a place where people can thrive doing their best work?” My goal for sharing this philosophy is to give everyone a glimpse into how we do things — especially those of you who may be considering joining the team. Upside Down Leadership The answer begins with the way leaders see themselves.
Our stand on racial equality
All of us at Discord were horrified by George Floyd’s murder. We are horrified by the murder of Breonna Taylor, of Rayshard Brooks, of Ahmaud Arbery, of countless other Black people across America, and disgusted by the continued police brutality against the protestors.

Racism is baked into our institutions and our way of life, from education to property ownership to voting.

Building on our momentum
By Jason and Stan Six months ago, we started to change the way we talked about Discord to make it more welcoming to the millions of people who were using our service for much more than playing games together online.

Your Place to Talk
Video games are about people. They have the power to bring together people, from different walks of life, from different parts of the world, united by something they love.
