I'm sorry, you want everything that's on your discord going through whatever monitoring software your work puts on your laptop?
A lot of places won't even let you install third party software without going through IT—and I'll bet you most IT departments aren't going to authorise you installing discord.
This is a very common situation, not a personal problem.
Weird take.
Just like every other job you bring it up to the IT department and work around it.
Tell me you've never worked with a corporate IT department without telling me you've never worked with a corporate IT department.
It's not a professional tool, and it's clearly not positioned as one. There's no way in hell you get that through any remotely professional IT department. Aside from many other reasons, they can't lock it down from an information security perspective (effectively legally required to avoid falling foul of things like GDPR), that alone makes it a massive denied response.
