It’s insane for us to think about how far Discord has come with the support from you guys, our community. As we said in our 2017 teaser:

2016 has been a big year for Discord. We grew from a little hangout to a place that 25 million people use to play games with their friends. We also found a CRT on the sidewalk so we could play Melee without lag. Big year for us.

Moving into the future, we want to give you guys a chance to support us even further with Discord Nitro.

For just a few bucks a month, you’ll get:

• Animated Avatar — upload a GIF avatar that plays in your profile and when moused over in chat.
• Use Custom Emoji Everywhere — get a global passport to use your custom emoji in any server or DM.
• Boosted Upload Limit — share big images and files with a larger upload size of 50MB (from 8MB).
• Rep Your Discord Support — display how long you’ve supported Discord with a special profile badge.

Remember, the core voice and text communication of Discord will always be free. No server fees, no user cap fees, no messaging fees, none of that.

Again, it’s crazy to think about where we are today and we hope that you continue to support us as we hold hands and boost into the future. Thanks fam love ya ❤
