If you don’t know, Discord servers were basically communities that users could join. After creating a Discord server, users can add different channels, some for text and some for voice chats. If you have an active Discord server, you may agree that things get crazy when everyone becomes active all at once. When everyone is active at the same time, it becomes difficult to follow the chat. Discord knows this problem; hence, they have introduced a Slow Mode feature. So, in this article, we will discuss Discord Slow mode and how to enable it.
What is Discord Slow Mode?
Slow Mode is a Discord feature that’s designed for large servers. It’s a feature that gives admins the ability to set a cooldown timer on active channels. If you enable Slow Mode in a Discord Channel, the feature will limit the number of messages a user can send in the channel based on a timed cooldown.

In other words, the server members will have to wait until the countdown timer expires to send a new message. However, the same thing doesn’t apply to Admins; they can keep sending messages without worrying about the countdown timer.
