I'm an academic. Since the pandemic began I've used Discord on multiple occasions for work -- for example, if someone runs an online conference it's common to create a Discord and encourage chat among the conference participants. But these are all fairly informal use cases, initiated by individual academics and not by "the university".

  My university's IT staff is surprisingly good. But they seem to be hamstrung by questionable decisions being made over their head.
