> I don't want to join those with the same identity I use in gaming
xXx~Pu55yDe5troy3r69~xXx, is this you? I saw you the other day on the StackOverflow Discord where you were helping me with my HTML-RegEx! Thanks again!

I'd rather rather compromise on a couple of laughs than see HN become a generic reddit like forum / social network.
Just may 2 cents
I've had similar problems. I fully agree with the other commenter: if you have a point, just say it minus the cheek.
As mentioned in another comment: Quite the opposite.
Discord should easily allow to have completely separate identities with no connection to each other at all.
If that's not possible and there's the risk of mixing up my private life and whatnot with my work life, Discord should not be the place/service to use.
I don't see how this contributtes to the civil discussion we are trying to have here on an interesting post.
HN expects you to be civil, and abide by the "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence " paradigm. I find them to be reasonable requirements.
If you'd like to express more heterodox views then there are a few rationalist-adjacent splinter groups around the internet with excellent discourse over a wide range of opinions. Each splinter group has different overton windows, but they're all of a really high quality.
I'd recommend just using the browser to make an alt.
Mods in smaller communities frequently greet everyone. If you pop in to check something then leave, you might as well @everyone that they're not good enough for you so you're out.
That said, Threads seem like they could have some functionality in some technical discords.
I think that's a very valid concern and I think it's a actually problem when Discord does not allow you to have different identities or switch easily between them without any connection at all.
Please don't make posts like this here.
