Discord now lets you change your username and avatar per server. Though to have a different avatar on different servers you need nitro.

Still doesn't solve the problem. In Discord you only have one account, loose access to that account for some reason, you loose access to both private and work related matters.
Instead, if Discord want to be taken seriously, need to allow multiple accounts on the same device, so people can switch between things.

Sorry for this, it doesn't add to the conversation but it's lose*. Not loose, lose.

People can still click your name and view your account name#number. They can also view mutual servers and friends. I don't necessarily want people in two communities to know or care that I am the same person.
I'm by default a private person, I feel uneasy sharing my preferences with people (even basic things like music that I like) and I don't like these broadcasted social features. The first thing I did when installing Discord was turning off the feature that says what game I am playing.

As far as I know this is still in A/B testing as well, and not a fully rolled out feature. I've had a friend with it for the better part of the year, yet I have yet to get the option on any of my servers.
