Wanted to make more friends who like reading and are autistic.

I love to read and am autistic but there is a NAS online book club. Like a few people here, I still have nightmares about the BBC Acorn computer so have no idea about Discord I am afraid. 

I think of Melkor and the discord he created in the harmony of the Ainur when you say that. Kind of analogous to the casting down of Lucifer from heaven.

It is a kind of Chinese whispers game for the brain at a subconcious level.

Odd how we react to words, when I hear or read the word DISCORD, I think of the Greek Goddess, Eris.

I feel safer on here plus people when they hear discord think of the dark seedy side of it snd that put me off forver 

Thanks Almond, I think, that all went way over my head, so I don't think I'll be using it, I'll stay here with all the other dinosaurs, lol

Good point, I did not know. I was wary that OP is not here usually.

Given the issues with spam at NAS I added the last remarks about spam.

Hopefully none of this is happening in this case.

Also, they had a security breach recently. 

Discord is a messaging platform.

It is similar to this forum in that you type-in a message and press send / reply. But the interface is a bit more complex.

You can register at discord.com, then press the link that the original poster shared, and it takes you to the chat room.

It is also possible to download Discord and use as a native app (just like, say, Paint or Office etc.) instead of using it from the website.

I don't use it, but a lot of people find it useful and fun. (Like everything on the internet, we need to watch out for scammers, bullies etc.)

Whats discord?

I read loads of crime fiction, I used to read a lot of fantasy too, but went off it a bit as it all seemed to get a bit samey. I've read a bit of sci-fi, but not a great deal, most of it dosent' quite hit the spot for me, except Iain Banks, Culture series. I can't do anime, manga or mainstream stuff.

I read lots of non fiction, mostly medieval history, religion and spirituality, some pre=history too.
