I've only used discord as part of a MOOC, and it seems absolutely useless for such a thing.
Since discussions aren't threaded, you can't really keep track of what people are talking about.
I joined slack at work basically the week after they added threaded discussion, and I was very surprised to learn it was a new thing. The whole premise of "slack instead of emails" seems ludicrous without threaded discussions. Like, how did anyone get that idea initially?
You can create Threads on Discord since a couple of months[0] Granted, it's not perfect to use in my opinion. But at least the feature exists :)

Discord has threads now.
