How is Gather different from Discord?
Discord is built for gaming and community chat. Gather is a virtual office built for remote work, where distributed teams can meet, chat, and interact like they're in person. See who's around, jump into conversations, and collaborate without ever scheduling a call. Teams typically switch to Gather when they need a more formal meeting tool but still want to keep a fun workspace.
