steemit.chat is down! I repeat, steemit.chat is down, all active personell report for duty, this is a code blue situation.
With steemit chat being temporarily unavailable, a lot of steemians were thrown into confusion, but order soon restored thanks to the discord app.
The discord story
Discord is considered as the app which brought gaming out of the medieval ages, it is the killer app for gamers, with features such as text chat and voice support.
The app which bears a semblance to the company, was founded by Jason Citron, who has a vision of keeping the brand as an independent brand.
Discord to the rescue
Some hours after hardfork.19, steemit.chat became offline, and this caused a lot of worry as some steemians were primarily based on steemit.chat and underrated the discord app. However, the stone which the builders, became the proverbial corner stone. The discord app is currently serving the needs of countless steemians effortlessly. A lot of people are grateful to this wonderful app which boasts of an easy to use interface and fun features such as bots etc.
Privacy is also a major plus for this app as unless invited or given an invite link, you cannot simply join any channels of your choice, messages deliver very fast with a pop up icon to indicate messages.
Interaction is not a problem on the unique app as it's easier to chat with top steemians on a channel easily too.
Another major plus is the fact that it is a programmer's choice of communication as top steemians who arehardly online on steemit.chat are always online on the discord app especially on the steemspeak channel.
Another brilliant feature of this channel is the ability of a channel to posses what I call groups within them
Taking a look to the left side of the image above explains my point.
With an easy to use and user friendly user interface, why don't you download and register on the discord app.

To show how useful the discord app has become, even the groups on steemit chat are now setting up shops on the discord app.
