TLS server-to-client connection encrypts your text and voice messages.

Packed With Features.
Discord comes with a complete set of features that far outweighs other services.

Third-Party Plugins.

Bots, Bots, Bots.
Similar to plugins, these chat bots perform a wide variety of tasks. The list of available bots is constantly growing, and can be made by anyone. Just a few examples of cool things bots can do are:

Play music in your channel

Stream videos in sync with other users

Perform web searches in the chat

There are many places to find bots, but just to list a few:

Custom CSS.
Don't like how Discord looks? It can be fully customized, allowing you to make changes to CSS to make a look that is entirely your own.

To use your own .css stylesheet, download the program Better Discord, which is an add-on to the regular Discord client. You'll then be able to change the stylesheet in App Data > Better Discord > Themes.

As far as I know the only way to get the IP of a Discord user is by accessing Discord's servers directly. I don't think they can be resolved like you can do on Skype.

Please correct me with a source if I'm wrong.

The only reason I still use Skype is because Discord isn't as widely used, so for some people I must use Skype to contact them. Otherwise I'd prefer to be 100% Discord

It's very unfortunate, isn't it? That's the main reason I made this thread. The more people that switch now, the faster it will grow.

I've gotten to the point where I won't even deal with people who use Skype. Instead I link them to discord and wait for them to switch.

Can't believe people still use Skype and teamspeak when Discord is clearly the better alternative.

In the title you mention its safer. In what terms is of safer?

People can't resolve your IP address.
