Discord avoids that issue by having a global identifier, similar to your connection to an IRC network.

However, having that global identifier / IRC network connection is a tradeoff - it forces you to use a single consistent identity for every single interaction on that network. For some people this is a plus; for others it is a negative. Slack's teams option allows people to use different identities for different instances.
