    My university forces its students to use Discord for computer science. They even forced me to use my real name (otherwise they would’ve kicked me from the channel). It’s a privacy nightmare so I hope they will switch now since they were using it to host weekly exams.

      It’s so hard to delete anything on Discord it’s in the permanent record. It’s upsetting. I use it too, but it is a nightmare privacy wise and it has all sorts of consequences.

        Since I live in the EU, it shouldn’t even be legal to force students into Discord. I really hate being that guy but if they do this shit again I will refuse.
