Discord has raised another $100 million in funding as the instant messaging app popularized by gamers has now hit 140 million monthly active users. Greenoaks Capital led the funding, and it comes after Discord previously raised $100 million in June as it tries to reach a broader set of communities.

Discord also said its user base is about double what it was a year ago. The company has now raised $479.3 million to date, and its investors include Index Ventures, Greylock, IVP, and Spark Capital.
