Discord chat app is poised to pick up some slack from Reddit's 48-hour blackout.Jakub Porzycki/NurPhoto/Getty Images Over 7,000 subreddits are on a 48-hour blackout to protest the platform's new charges to developers of third-party apps. Discord — a popular group chat app — is poised to pick up some slack from Reddit during this time. Originally developed for gamers, Discord has attracted a wide range of users including K-pop stans. A 48-hour blackout on Reddit is underway, but those suffering from withdrawal symptoms could tap into alternative platforms — such as popular group chat app Discord.A list of alternative platforms, including Discord servers, are available for Redditors who still want to stay in touch with the community while the protest rages on, according to a post by u/SpicyThunder335, a moderator.These servers include The Positivity Network, Unexpected Friends, and Luna's Lobby.The Unexpected Friends server is the largest so far, with over 19,000 members currently.
