Just FYI, discord.io !== discord.com the chat app, it's a related but separate service.


Normally I think it's lame when a product-for-a-product (there's probably a better term) has to abide by stringent branding guidelines to not look official. e.g. when third-party reddit clients (RIP) had to change from e.g. "Reddit Sync" to "Sync for Reddit" and they weren't allowed to use the Snoo character in their branding.

But in this case... why was Discord fine with this branding? It looks unabashedly like an alternate official domain for their own service. Googling "what is discord.io" leads to a good handful of confused redditors asking if it's legit/safe.


I still use infinity for reddit though.


And discord.com !== discordapp.com or discord.gg.


"As of May 4th, 2020, we have moved our domain from discordapp.com to discord.com!"

They all redirect to discord.com now.


discord.gg is used for invite links
