How to fix Discord 500 internal server error
Discord is one of the world's most popular communication platforms across multiple devices.

One of those issues may be the 500 internal server error, and here is how to fix it.

Essentially what it is, is a status code that means something has gone wrong on the software's server, but the server could not be more specific on what that exact problem is. It is very rare for this error to be caused by an issue on the user's end since it is typically a server issue. However, below is what you should do to troubleshoot and try to resolve this issue.
