Channels, permissions and DMs are more powerful in discord.

But there's no separation of workspaces like in slack. Rather, they have servers. You log into discord with one email, and all its associated servers are shown. So unlike slack, you can't have different servers each with different email ids to login to.

Discord does however let you very trivially change your 'nick' for each server you're in. I'll take this over having multiple emails for servers.

Although you can change your nick, you can't have a per-server profile picture, which may or may not be a problem for business use.

How does this work in light of how some people, including myself, use slacks:

Work slack

N Side-project-team slacks

Personal Slack

---

I cant have work-slack email address to login to my personal slack, which is just for me. Further, need no connections between various side-project/side-interests slacks.

I also participate in Discords, but not actively enough where I am as fluid in using discord...
