And how! Every time I login (have multiple accounts), I have to repeatedly tell Discord that I’m not a student and not interested in their scholastic channels.

And how! Every time I login (have multiple accounts), I have to repeatedly tell Discord that I’m not a student and not interested in their scholastic channels. The UI is really in-your-face constantly. Has my account already viewed this tutorial? Yes. Save that info forever and stop bugging me. I will be switching.

I use about 15 servers and run my own server that's 1,500 strong. Never have I experienced the issues you're facing. I use the desktop and mobile clients daily. Literally all day. You have a local problem there and need to reach out to support.

  Discord support is notoriously bad - not responding to issues in a timely manner, and being obtuse with the information they give.

  Do you actually log out and log in every day or do you just leave it signed into one account?

    Why would I login and logout every day?

    Chrome and Firefox, at least, have profiles which allow users to be signed into discord under different accounts, simultaneously.

      You can also do this with Container Tabs in Firefox.

  Or I’ll just use something that doesn’t bother me. A freshly installed client will also require you to take a tutorial again once logged in. I like to try different OSes so this tutorial is also a pain.

    Sure. No one is saying you can't do that. All the best to you.

on windows, if you change the USERPROFILE variable before running the software, you can operate it from different locations. Instead of using the preset folder in your user's appdata, it can be run from any other folder with entirely different saved data. As application running checks are from the path, you can essentially run multiple instances of the same application simultaneously (at the cost of having a complete second copy of the entire program). It's a pain to setup and maintain though, the software is clearly not designed with this in mind. The other issue is that when calls to open child programs (like clicking links in chat), this program maintains the changed variable, so apps like firefox run in a completely different directory
