[Other] There is a new Discord server for the VMS.

I've never really used Discord and don't know much about it. What advantages would the platform offer?

Discord is for instant messaging, and you are always one click away from joining a voice chat room.
You can quickly share files, images, etc.
Sort of like an IRC chat on steroids.
It works on every device as far as I know.
I can see it being useful as a teamwork tool or simply for having a few beers together in a voice/video room, but not as a replacement for a classical forum.
I only use it for voice chat when gaming. It is pretty solid.
