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.
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.
Thing is, most people WOULD CARE if I treat a dog, cat, or any other cute animal the same way as dairy/meat industry does. Why doesn’t the “as long as you keep it to yourself” argument count in this case (might not be for you but for most people)?
It’s about philosophy/ethics and not religion.
