Discord

Discord is an online social group messaging platform, originally designed for gamers. The ZNG has had a private Discord server since May of 2018, and uses it for the dual purposes of general communication and voice chatting while playing online multiplayer with each other.
Discord supports both text-based and audio-based communication, and allows anyone to create a "server," or group, for a particular topic of discussion. Within each server, there can be multiple "channels" for different topics; the ZNG server has numerous text channels, listed below, and two general-purpose voice channels. Notably, messages shared through Discord are not divided up into posts and replies, but are instead in a continuous feed, meaning that conversations are not separated from other conversations or topics that may come before and after them.
Discord supports emoji "reactions" that are similar to the "like" buttons on other platforms or the "Yeah!" button on Miiverse. Any emoji can be chosen as a reaction to any message, allowing convenient short-form acknowledgement of and reactions to messages. Often, an emoji reation may be related to a certain game that is being discussed, such as a pill for Dr. Mario (💊), a squid for Splatoon (🦑), a horse for Epona (🐴), or even just a general-purpose video game controller (🎮). The ZNG server also has custom emotes for the Miiverse and Tri Force Heroes reactions, the Miiverse 'Yeah!' button, and other Nintendo references.
Discord can be used via either a computer web browser, a computer application, or a smartphone app. All methods of access support all the main features of Discord, including voice chat.
