I'm not the GP, but lack of multi account support on Discord would be a blocker. I don't want to expose my "gamer" profile to my family.


Why couldn't you use the --multi-instance command line option?


That option doesn't seem to work for me, but personally, if I need to use another discord account, I just use another Discord client, as Discord has 3 official ones (Stable, PTB, and Canary) <https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035675191-D...>, which all use their own account/data. For mobile, my OnePlus phone has a built in multi account app thing called Parallel Apps, and there are apps for it on Android.


Thank you, it's good to know, but is it supported on mobile apps? I think it's more problem on mobile, because on desktop, mostly Discord can be used in browser so Chrome profile or Firefox container works.


Oh, I don't really use it on mobile :( . It's on my work laptop where like you I keep my private and work accounts separate :) . You could certainly do it with multicontainer on android firefox but not on iphone :( . I suppose you could install multiple browsers in that case but again I only need in emergency situations on my phone.


It does support multiple accounts, at least since recently.


You already expose your personal data and metadata (and your family's) to Discord anyway.
