Nice to see your account growing springworth@springworth! I just hit the three year mark, and there is still a lot that confuses me. nickyhavey@nickyhavey is usually the one that sets me straight, especially from the rewards side of things as I'm still a bit happily clueless on a lot.

As far as Discord, as Fiona said, it is a communication app that I believe did start out more in the gaming realm for people to connect with each other. Since Hive doesn't have any private messaging, it can be a great way for people to chat if they want to do so offchain. A lot of the communities have discord rooms where they can share initiatives before they go live, brainstorm or just foster the sense of togetherness. Not everyone is a fan, but until PeakD or one of the other hosting sites develops messaging then it is nice if you want that additional place to connect.

Twitter has also become a great place for people on Hive to find each other and promote their posts to a wider audience. I use it to promote my blogs and also promote my personal training/nutrition business, so it is not solely just for Hive on my end. But there is definitely a lot of "buzz" going on there. Tuesdays the hivepeople@hivepeople account has initiated a #hivechat where a different host comes on and asks the community 5 questions over the course of an hour to try to get the word out about Hive and brainstorm ideas for how to make marketing and other aspects better. People like traciyork@traciyork through the hiveblogshare@hiveblogshare account and so many others are great about sharing content to boost exposure. There are also a number of other initiatives where users may run contests or give tips for good posts shared there. It can be a little overwhelming, but can be fun to dip your toes in and try it out.

Just my two cents on the Discord/Twitter end, but hopefully that helps give at least one perspective. I'm sure some others will happily add on!
