, 38, discovered Discord soon after the internet messaging platform launched in 2015. The app was designed as an audio-chat platform for online videogamers, a solution for those frustrated by the patchwork of disjointed communication tools available then.

“My friend group mostly lived in the Bay Area, but when the pandemic hit some people moved away,” said Mr. Murphy.
