I don't understand why is it impossible to run several identities? I have one account for work and one personal account for gaming. It is possible for me and I did not have any issues.

I assume you use workarounds like separate browsers/browser groups/1 in browser 1 in app. In slack for example, you can have completely separate accounts that you control through the same window/app and I haven't seen the option for that in Discord.

I just use Firefox containers here. One tab in one container for personal, one tab in one container for more professional contexts. Having container tabs rather than private mode or separate browsers lets me have them in one window.

Yeah, you basically have multiple different browser identities that you use as a workaround since Discord doesn't support multiple identities "natively" in their own platform.
So, we're right back to where this conversation started, that Discord doesn't support multiple identities.

A workaround with Firefox container tabs is too complex to bother. Not to mention it doesn't work on mobile?
Edit: and besides, I am the potential customer. They want business use, they should help. I don't even understand why I'm allowed one gaming identity.
This. It's pretty much impossible to run several identities on Discord. If we ever move work to it i want it separate from my gaming discords.
