Major School Hub Email System Concerns
Greetings fellow users of Discord. I am currently attending a school in Victoria, Australia, and have taken notice of the school hub server system. Although I have some concerns about the functionality of this system for most students within the state of Victoria (And quite possibly, other states too)
The concern is, that my school issued email address has a statewide Victoria Education domain, that is, every student in Victoria (Regardless of School*[See Edit 2]*) is given an email with the same domain; @vic.edu.au
Upon researching of the functionality of the School Hub system, it seems as if the School Hubs are based off of individual school emails in order to have a School Hub for every Individual School, but due to Victoria having one large database, the "School Hub" will not be any *one* school, but in fact, the entire state of Victoria being counted as a school.
If this has already been taken into account, then I apologise for the Post, but if not, I would be delighted to hear back on solutions and steps taken to fix the possible issue.
Thank you for taking the time to read this article lol :)))

P.S- Was not sure what Category to put this in so it's in "Other"
Edit: My solution to the issue (if not already solved) would be to add different school "categories" under the @vic.edu.au email domain, so that users with a @vic.edu.au domain can pick the school that they attend from a long list of Victorian Schools currently using the Domain.
Edit 2: Yes, I know that the School Hub system is a network of servers for a school, not a single school server. Also, only public schools in Victoria use the .vic.edu.au domain, Private schools work fine with their own unique domain (Some friends go to a private school and it works fine for them)

As an owner of a school community related discord server myself, I am thoroughly excited and pleased by the concept of "School Hubs." It seems like an interesting and immersive way for students of all status to connect and meet on a common likeable media platform.
I would love if there were some sort of benefits or special settings for School related servers that allow them to have Homework integrations or an automatic class role assigning system.2 -
You should expect that people whose ISP switches around their apparent geolocation (I suspect by switching loads between IXP's), thereby changing their "location", will get blocked by Discord until they provide Discord with a "smart phone" number. If a person does not have a "smart phone", they are out of luck. Apparently Twitter has started to do this as well. You should find some other platform for your school hub.

At least this is how I understand IXPs, probably not true of how they work0 -
The same occurs for me. I'm a student in NSW and we have state-wide emails. I believe every state in Australia does. I think the only way to properly combat this would be to have school hub moderation or to only allow students to join one school hub for their email.
