I want different handles for them, I want DMs to be grouped by discord - not into a single giant bucket, I want notification emails to go to different emails.
The biggest blocker to me enjoying discord is that it assumes I'm the same person across all the groups.
The only thing though I found out not possible to customize per server is the avatar picture, for some reason. But I already use the same for personal and professional communications so it didn't bother me too much.
Nope. The different handle on a server is there for other people's benefit, not for yours. Anyone who sends you a direct message will see your actual Discord handle.
I can't fathom why it's implemented this way, but it is.
I would hazard a guess that it's because the vast majority of people want a single login for a single app.
I know I certainly prefer the discord one account many servers approach over the slack one server one logon.
Obviously the 1:1 relationship makes sense for slack as it's targeted at businesses, a lot of whom use a centralised user directory of some kind (SSO/LDAP etc...) but having to create a new user/pass to join every discord server would get old very fast.
There isn't one.
That gave me a chuckle
