Requests to Discord are blocked by my company’s newest filters as “gaming”. 😶

I mean, it's not wrong? Discord is still primarily a gaming app built as a replacement for TeamSpeak and Ventrilo. The non-gaming use cases are still in the minority.

It's still a shit ruling. Back in the day they just blocked all .io sites so you couldn't play agar.io and so on. But all the IT sites we used were also blocked by that. So we had to go and ask the guy for every single one until he grew sick of it and opened it again

That's like not letting Muslims on a plane because some are terrorists. What a lazy approach.

That’s true, but we had a work server there for voice chat

Wow. I'd be self hosting mumble for that. Or using Teams.

Teams was crap at the time on our laptops.

I would’ve preferred a company wide IRC chat, but whatever.

Not wrong lol, it's a gamer chat. It tried to rebrand as a regular chat app, but the entire gamer aesthetic says otherwise.
