Discord, the popular chat client, is making some changes in 2021. Among these changes are threaded conversations, better ways to discover new communities, and paid tickets to allow creators a new source of income.

Stage Channels are a less chaotic version of a Discord group chat; only a few select people have the ability to talk freely, and everyone else in the channel is the audience. Audience members can queue up to take part in an organized Q&A, or just enjoy the show. It’s a feature similar to the Clubhouse app, which has lately been imitated across other social media platforms.
