Curious to know what app this is in the picture - purple background with the white symbol? Does anyone know? Thanks!

Stop feeding it

tct131416 · 15/06/2021 19:30

My DP has this app, I think he uses it as a work team chat platform or something along those lines

Flipflopfoodle · 15/06/2021 20:52

OMG, I'm on Discord, and I haven't told my DH. I wonder who I'm cheating with?
Seriously, it's like many apps, it is a means of communication, therefore can be used for affairs if you're determined but it is mainly used for gamers and hobbies.

Isitreallyme77 · 15/06/2021 21:17

Discord is used by gamers alot I was on it when i played Pokemon Go.

Fyredraca · 15/06/2021 21:34

Discord is not "known" as a place to hide affairs Grin
I'm on Discord to discuss fan fiction with other middle aged women. Pretty sure I'm not shagging any of them.
I haven't asked my DH if he's ok with me downloading it though. He should probably LTB

LivingDeadGirlUK · 15/06/2021 21:53

This is such a bizarre thread, OP is surely trolling, but Discord is just a chat app, and given how so many people on here seem to think because its mostly used by nerds it would never be used for sexy chat, I think the average cheater is missing a trick Grin

Ceebeegee · 15/06/2021 22:03

I have Discord for Pokemon Go raid chats. Never entered my mind it could be used as a hook up app

Onthedunes · 15/06/2021 22:07

Is this an advert ?

CiaoForNiao · 15/06/2021 22:09

@carefulmum

maybe I'm in the wrong, but i can't help having the feeling that a lot of you're covering up your own indiscretions here by making out that Discord is soooo innocent
Alas its true. I have been rumbled.

I use discord to cheat on my imaginary partner with my imaginary affair partner. I'm having so much imaginary sex I'm surprised I can walk straight.

FedUpWithBriiiiick · 15/06/2021 22:11

Bollocks. Reported

FTEngineerM · 15/06/2021 22:12

@carefulmum

All i'm saying is be careful. I was burnt and I wouldn't want dilly to face the same unexpected pain that me and my friends did.
So do you say that when you see someone with Facebook messenger on their phone?

‘Careful my Ex used to use that app to contact the OW.. ‘ it’s unlikely.

IronNeonClasp · 15/06/2021 22:14

And the shocking 'ghost-writers' of Mumsnet continue. Stock image fgs and you'd have to search that lol. 🙄Biscuit

Hire me - I could do better Grin

kiddo5467 · 15/06/2021 22:15

@carefulmum

Be very careful. That's a known app used for extra marital affairs. I caught my ex DP using it around a year ago, the amount of messages he was sending to OW down for affairs was outstanding.

Trust your gut here and LTB!

That's like saying "I caught my ex cheating by sending messages on fb messenger, therefore, Everyone who has fb messenger is using it to have an affair"
AlternativePerspective · 15/06/2021 22:17

Just here for the deletion message.

Confusedaboutlots · 15/06/2021 22:20

@carefulmum sorry you went through that but with respect what nonsense - discord isn’t used for marital affairs any more than simple text, whatsapp, instagram or facebook is!

OP - nothing to worry about at all unless he has form or you have trust issues - if so there’s a bigger issue than him having discord on his phone.

Ninkanink · 15/06/2021 22:23

🙄🙄

HipHopGirl · 15/06/2021 22:29

Carefulmum Didn't realise Discord was a hookup app. In fact I might start using it more now 🤣

BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 15/06/2021 22:33

So what I'm taking away from this is that I'm a fanfic writer and should totally be on Discord. Am I missing a trick? What fandoms are on there?

Ps I am bisexual so I am totes already cheating on DH, as everyone knows bi people can't be monogamous, but I don't intend to tell him specifically when I download the app, so then I'll be double cheating on him. I downloaded All4 yesterday so I could watch We Are Lady Parts on my phone and I didn't tell him about that either.

CiaoForNiao · 15/06/2021 22:35

Also didn't realise there were knitting and craft discords! I thought it was just gaming chats. So if anyone is in any nice groups and feels the urge to send me a link it would be much appreciated.

AlternativePerspective · 15/06/2021 22:38

Craft.. is that what they call it now? 😀

BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 15/06/2021 22:39

Ditto, if any fic writers would like to hook me up with a PM. I'm shiva_goddessof on AO3 if credentials are needed.

(Seriously, is this a stealth Discord marketing campaign?)

CiaoForNiao · 15/06/2021 22:43

@AlternativePerspective

Craft.. is that what they call it now? 😀
Shhhh. If I tell my imaginary partner that it's a 'craft' group on discord he'll never know I'm having an affair with another imaginary man.
Wtfdoipick · 15/06/2021 22:44

If discord is a hook up site why am I still single :(

I use it for a game I play, quite a big community, oddly enough a message just flashed up but it was from the game developers with a special offer to try to get money out of us

AlternativePerspective · 15/06/2021 23:12

I use it for a game I play, quite a big community, oddly enough a message just flashed up but it was from the game developers with a special offer to try to get money out of us was the special offer access to the secret channels where you can engage in a bit of extra marital fun disguised as a computer game?

me4real · 15/06/2021 23:12

@dillytilly I'm on a Mumsnet Pokemon Discord. Smile I doubt it's used for affairs anywhere near as much as apps that are designed just for chat primarily with individuals.

It's for groups, usually large ones, to chat about a game or interest. Yes people can message others but it'd be a very round about way of messaging a woman.

What else is occuring?
