How do I run multiple Discord accounts?

What is Discord?

First released in 2015, Discord is an instant messaging and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) social platform that allows communication through voice calls, video calls, text messages, and shared media and files.

Discord is built around dedicated servers that act as hubs for different communities. Users can join these servers, which are organized into topic-based channels for different conversations and content streams.

Discord positions itself as a place to "talk and hang out" with friends and the community. It is designed to facilitate closer communication and more frequent virtual gatherings.

Discord has seen significant growth, reporting revenue of $130 million in 2020 and an estimated valuation of $15 billion in 2021 due to a noticeable increase in usage during the pandemic.

Discord's infrastructure is based on an eventually consistent database architecture, initially using MongoDB, then migrating to Apache Cassandra and later to ScyllaDB. These applications use React and React Native.

As of March 2022, Discord has about 600 employees worldwide. It runs on Google Cloud infrastructure in more than 30 data centers.

Can a user run more than one Discord account?

Users can log in to multiple Discord accounts at the same time, but there are a few important caveats:

First of all, Discord officially supports logging in to up to 5 accounts at the same time through its desktop and web app. This allows users to easily switch between different Discord accounts within the same app. Users can set different avatar images for each Discord account to keep them unique and easily identifiable. Additionally, using the Discord Canary alpha version allows users to experience new features early and provide valuable feedback to help improve and refine the platform. Users can benefit from early access, enhanced account management features, and being part of a community that supports and shapes the future of Discord.

Second, if the user wants to add another account, the user can go to theUser settings”>“accounts, and then clickAdd an account"Sign in with the credentials of another Discord account.

Discord's desktop app contains oneBuilt-in account switcher feature, allowing users to easily manage and switch between multiple accounts. This feature is designed to provide a seamless experience for users with multiple Discord accounts, such as one account for personal use and another for work or the gaming community. With an account switcher, users can quickly switch between accounts without having to manually log out and log back in. To switch accounts in Discord, first open the app and navigate to the bottom left corner, click on your profile picture, and select "Switch accounts”。 You can now choose an existing account or add a new one, allowing you to seamlessly switch between multiple accounts.

However, running multiple Discord accounts on mobile devices has certain limitations compared to the seamless experience provided by the desktop app's built-in account switcher. Here are the main limitations and some workarounds for managing multiple accounts on mobile devices, such as:

• There is no built-in account switcher: Unlike the desktop app, Discord's mobile app doesn't have a built-in feature to seamlessly switch between multiple accounts.
• Manually log in/out: Users need to manually log out of one account and log in to another, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient.
• Notification issues: Signing out and logging back in may result in missed notifications or delayed receiving messages.

Misuse of Discord features or misuse of any account, such as spamming or harassment, can lead to serious consequences, with an account being temporarily or permanently banned. Therefore, using Discord responsibly is essential to maintaining a healthy and friendly community.

To solve this situation, you can use Discord PTB (public beta version), which can run multiple instances of Discord and enable you to log in to different accounts at the same time. This provides a practical solution for managing multiple accounts and testing new features before releasing them to the public.

Some third-party tools and professional browsers (like DICloak, MoreLogin, etc.) can provide ways to further isolate and manage more Discord accounts from the same device at the same time.

While the official platform allows multiple accounts to be registered, users who operate too many accounts may be flagged as abusive by Discord's systems if these accounts are used to send spam, harass, or violate Discord's terms of service.

We recommend using a professional tool such as an anti-detect browser to separate account management, creating a unique browser fingerprint and IP address for each account to reduce the risk when managing multiple Discord accounts from one device.

How do I run multiple accounts on Discord Mobile?

Running multiple accounts on Discord Mobile can be challenging, especially if you want to keep your activities separate. Luckily, there are currently several ways to help you manage multiple accounts with ease.

The most straightforward way to run multiple accounts on Discord Mobile is to use the app's built-in "Account switcher feature”。 This feature allows users to log in to different accounts and switch between them without having to log out every time. To use this feature, go to the user settings and selectAdd an account”。 Follow the prompts to log in to your second account. Once you've added multiple accounts, you can switch between them by tapping on your profile picture and selecting the account you want to use. This makes it more convenient to manage different accounts for personal, work, or other purposes.

However, the account switcher has its limitations. This isn't ideal for users who need to stay active on multiple accounts at the same time. For this case, it may be helpful to use a solution such as a third-party app or a parallel app. These apps allow you to clone Discord and run multiple clones, each of which logs into a different Discord account. This method is useful for people who need constant access to multiple accounts to manage the community, customer support, or games. But it's important to note that it's important to choose a reliable and secure third-party app to protect your privacy and data.

What are some good ways to avoid Discord's detection when running multiple accounts on one device?

1. Use an anti-detect browser like DICloak

• Create a unique browser fingerprint for each Discord account to bypass the link
• Use residential proxies to mask IP addresses so that accounts are displayed from different locations
• Maintain a fully isolated browser environment to prevent data cross-contamination

2. Utilize browser profiles/containers

• Log in to each Discord account within its own quarantine browser profile or container
• Prevent account associations based on shared browser data

3. Avoid exhibiting similar patterns of behavior between accounts

• Maintain different usage patterns, voice/text styles, and online time for each role
• Reduce the suspicion that administrators notice the same behavior between accounts

4. Sign up for an account with a virtual phone number

• Services like Grizzly SMS offer temporary numbers to verify new Discord accounts
• Prevent reusing the same phone number, as this may give Discord a warning

5. Implement proper two-factor authentication (2FA)

• Enable 2FA such as Google Authenticator between accounts to prove legitimacy
• But make sure you have access to the 2FA code across devices when you switch accounts

5. Distinguish between account types (personal and professional)

• Set up dedicated accounts for different use cases like gaming, work, community, and more
• Prevent too many violations of one type from leading to the banning of other accounts

6. Appeal any unreasonable suspension in a timely manner

• If your account is locked, quickly follow Discord's appeal process
• Provide verification documentation to regain access
