A poll-based social application called Gas that enables users to compliment one another has been acquired by chat network Discord.

Positive affirmations are the foundation of gas, which focuses on uplifting and inspiring one another.

Its success shows the possibility of creating an enjoyable environment with a purpose for youngsters.

The Gas team has a track record of developing engaging applications and experiences, so the chat platform is aiming to advance things by partnering with them.

"At this time, Gas will continue as its own standalone app and the Gas team will be joining Discord to help our efforts to continue to grow across new and core audiences," Discord said.

"We're always working to create an inclusive world where no one feels like an outsider and we're excited to welcome Gas to the Discord community as our next step to fulfilling that vision," it added.

High school students were the target audience for the Gas application when it was first introduced in August of last year.
