There are different servers for all sorts of different purposes. Users will require a different nickname on the class discussion server rather than the gaming nickname on the gaming server. The nickname can be changed in the discord server. The nickname changing option can be accessed through multiple methods. It can be changed multiple times without any issues. However, it is only possible if the user has permission for changing the nickname on that server.

The nickname and the username on discord are two different names. Usernames work a bit differently than the nicknames in discord. Your friend list will be able to see the username in DMs and friend list. Unlike the nickname, you cannot have different usernames for different servers.
