Servers
editDiscord communities are organized into discrete collections of channels called servers. Although they are referred to as servers on the front end, they are called "guilds" in the developer documentation.[1] Users can create servers for free, manage their public visibility, and create voice channels, text channels, and categories to sort the channels into.[2] Most servers have a limit of 250,000 members, but this limit can be raised if the server owner contacts Discord.[3] The previously largest known Discord server was Snowsgiving 2021, an official Discord-controlled server made for the 2021 winter holiday season. This server reached 1 million members.[4] In 2023, the server for Midjourney reached over 15 million members, making it the largest server on Discord.[5]

Servers
editDiscord communities are organized into discrete collections of channels called servers. Although they are referred to as servers on the front end, they are called "guilds" in the developer documentation, to distinguish themselves from actual servers.[6] Users can create servers for free, manage their public visibility, and create voice channels, text channels, and categories to sort the channels into.[2] Most servers have a limit of 250,000 members, but this limit can be raised if the server owner contacts Discord.[7] Users can also create roles and assign them to server members. Roles can, among other things, determine which channels users have access to, change users’ colors, and designate a server’s moderation team. The previously largest known Discord server was Snowsgiving 2021, an official Discord-controlled server made for the 2021 winter holiday season. This server reached 1 million members.[8] In 2023, the server for Midjourney reached over 15 million members, making it the largest server on Discord.[9] Erics163 (talk) 01:45, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

This system was ultimately changed to a handle-based system in May 2023, removing the discriminator from usernames.[1] This new system mandated a change of username. Users criticized the possible impersonation risk that may arise if their previous username was claimed by another user.[2]

This system was ultimately changed to a handle-based system in May 2023, removing the discriminator from usernames.[3] This new system mandated a change of username. Users selected their new usernames in priority based on how early they registered for Discord, Nitro status, and ownership of partner and verified servers.[4]. Users criticized the possible impersonation risk that may arise if their previous username was claimed by another user.[5] Erics163 (talk) 01:51, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

- Hello! Thank you for letting me know :) I am new to Wikipedia and didn't know that primary sources were not considered reliable. https://www.ign.com/articles/discord-will-soon-be-requiring-users-to-pick-a-new-username is one source I found which should be reputable, and links back to the primary source in which I had originally posted.

In the Discord#Servers section, update the line about verification not being reopened to now say that they haven't reopened since September 2024.
(And honestly, I don't think they're going to reopen for a long while...) 172.112.199.166 (talk) 04:28, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
