I use Slack for work and like it well enough, but I can't really think of a single thing that Slack does better than Discord. From an admin/moderator perspective, the level of control over user permissions and organization of channels that you have is so superior on Discord. I guess Slack Connect is kinda nice, and they give you helpful ways of saving items for later and setting reminders.

Overall they need to be separate because if I get a slack notification I know it's for work and discord it's not. But if Discord launched a thinly rebranded alternative for work I think it would be excellent.

The main thing that bugs me about Discord, you are tied to one email account where Slack you gan sign into different slack groups with different emails.
They added an account switcher on Desktop but I haven't been able to find that feature on mobile. Still not as smooth as Slack's though.
