Use Case
Discord Without the Data Harvesting
Groups up to 200k members, channels, polls, bots, and AI - all with end-to-end encryption and European hosting. Your gaming community deserves a platform that respects its privacy.
Gaming & EsportsThe problem
Discord has become the default platform for gaming communities, but at a significant cost to user privacy. Discord scans messages for advertising targeting, shares data with third parties, and stores everything on US servers with no end-to-end encryption. Gamers deserve a community platform that does not treat their conversations, friend lists, and gaming habits as products to be sold.
Everything Your Gaming Community Needs
Groups Up to 200k
Build communities that rival the largest Discord servers. Buzz groups support up to 200,000 members with the performance and stability needed for active gaming communities.
Channels & Topics
Organise your community with dedicated channels for different games, strategies, announcements, and off-topic chat. Topics within channels keep discussions threaded and searchable.
Polls & Reactions
Run community votes on game night schedules, tournament formats, and clan decisions. Rich reactions let members express themselves beyond simple emoji - custom reaction packs add personality to your community.
Broadcasts
Send one-way announcements for tournament schedules, patch notes, clan updates, and event invitations. Broadcasts reach every member without getting lost in the noise of active chat channels.
Bots & AI
Buzz's built-in AI handles moderation, conversation summaries, and community management tasks. The bot API supports custom integrations for game stats, matchmaking, and tournament brackets.
Discord Without the Data Harvesting
Discord's business model depends on knowing everything about you. What games you play, who you talk to, what you say, when you are online, and what you click on. This data fuels advertising partnerships, powers recommendation algorithms, and sits on US servers accessible to government requests. Buzz offers the same community features - channels, roles, bots, reactions - without the surveillance infrastructure underneath. Your gaming community's conversations are end-to-end encrypted and hosted in Europe. We make money from subscriptions, not from selling your data.
Communities That Scale to 200,000 Members
Whether you are running a small clan of 20 friends or a massive community around a popular game, Buzz scales without degrading the experience. Groups support up to 200,000 members with dedicated channels, role-based permissions, and moderation tools that keep communities manageable at any size. Unlike Discord, where large servers become chaotic free-for-alls, Buzz's channel and topic structure keeps conversations organised. AI-powered summaries help members catch up on channels they have missed without scrolling through thousands of messages.
Esports Teams Need Real Security
Professional esports teams discuss strategies, share scrimmage footage, and coordinate tournament preparation in their team chats. On Discord, none of this is encrypted - meaning Discord employees, hackers who breach Discord's servers, or anyone with a court order can potentially access your team's competitive secrets. Buzz's end-to-end encryption means your strategies stay between your team. File sharing supports large video files for VOD review, and dedicated team channels keep competitive discussions separate from public community chat.
European Values, Global Community
Buzz is built in Europe with European privacy values baked into every architectural decision. But our platform is for gamers everywhere - whether you are in Berlin, Seoul, Sao Paulo, or Los Angeles. European hosting means your data is protected by GDPR, the world's strongest privacy regulation. No data harvesting, no advertising profiles, no selling your gaming habits to third parties. As gaming communities increasingly push back against platform exploitation, Buzz offers an alternative that aligns with what gamers actually want - a great community platform that does not treat them as the product.
