Discord gets big update as it turns 3 years old

It’s Discord’s third birthday, and the company is celebrating by sharing some numbers and improving its underlying technology. In its latest patch, larger servers with a ton of people perform better, which is important considering Discord has 19 million daily active members … and also because Fortnite exists.

If you’ve used Discord a lot, you know that bigger servers with thousands of members can put a strain on your CPU. The company has fixed this, and now it says that processor and network usage is consistent for servers with 100 people or 100,000 people. Discord has also improved data and battery usage overall for the mobile apps. You can find all of the fixes and upgrades on Discord’s changelog.
