Discord
Imagine you are standing on a platform, holding a mic. You are surrounded by an audience eager to listen to what you need to say. This might seem like a far dream with the restrictions levied upon the world right now. However, there is a way to mimic this feeling of a stage performance online, using Discord.
Discord rolled out Stage channels back in March. These channels provide a bunch of users to talk while an audience can listen. The Moderators of these channels can switch quickly between participants to select users that have the ability to speak, switching between roles. These channels provide users a platform to perform without any interruptions.
