Discord is a piece of software you can install (or use it in your browser) that will open up a whole new chat world for you. It allows for both voice and text chatting. There are several servers on there that are Steem Related.

They range from a place like the Steemit Ramble to chat and nominate posts for review to a rocking server like Steemspeak that at times has some pretty rough and tumble discussions going on and everything in between.

You'll meet some great Steemians as you visit the various servers.
