'It's time to ditch Skype and TeamSpeak. Discord is here. All-in-one voice and text chat for gamers that’s free, secure, and works on both your desktop and phone. Stop paying for TeamSpeak servers and hassling with Skype. Simplify your life. You'll never go back.'

'Never pay for voice chat again. Discord is always completely free to use with no gotchas. This means you can make as many servers as you want with no slot limitations. Wondering how we’ll make money? In the future there will be optional cosmetics like themes, sticker packs, and sound packs available for purchase. We’ll never charge for Discord’s core functionality.'

'Play online with peace of mind Encrypted server to client communication keeps your IP address safe. Stop getting ganked because you're logged into Skype. Our resilient Erlang backend running on the cloud has built in DDoS protection with automatic server failover.'

'Always be connected to your friends Download the free mobile app to chat while on the go or summon your AFK friends by sending a push notification with an @mention.'

'Text chat designed for the 21st century Easily share images, videos, and links from your desktop or phone. Discord embeds most types of media directly in the chat. GIFs only play when you mouse over them, so your CPU is spared. Post those GIFs. Oh yeah!'

'Voice chat that doesn't slow down your game Designed for use while gaming, Discord has minimal impact on your CPU. Your game's performance won't be affected in the slightest. Seriously. It's time to ditch CPU hogs like Skype.'

'The easiest setup you've ever seen It takes just 10 seconds and doesn’t require any drivers or weird setting configuration. Discord can even run in the browser which is great for PUGs you invite to your voice channel or those stubborn friends of yours. You can download the Windows or OSX app for maximum performance.'

'Managing your server is easy, but powerful Robust permissions and multiple channels, all within an easy-to-use UI, make Discord perfect for both small groups or large guilds. Finally, the power you’ve come to expect from TeamSpeak, Vent, and Mumble in a package that isn’t ridiculously complicated.'

'Voice quality so clear you can hear a pin drop Discord is built with the latest tech using a modern jitter buffer, automatic gain control, noise suppression, echo cancellation, system attenuation on Windows and more. You'll love it and it works everywhere: desktop apps, browser apps, and soon phones.'

Only thing is that people use Skype for most of their needs, and would most likely not switch.

Only thing is that people use text mostly.

Text chat? Discord is both universally capable of text chat and voice chat.
