Make the "Riot" entry on identity set up a more generic one, including Discord or Telegram handle
At the moment, on-chain identity setup on Apps only allows you to add your Riot (Element) handle in the specific entry:

Many community members don't use Element but other bridged messaging apps like Discord or Telegram: is it possible to include these formats in the entry for the user to choose the best way to contact them?
It actually just maps the field exposed by Substrate with the intent there - https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/blob/master/frame/identity/src/types.rs#L315-L318

Still not sure what to do here, aka change unilaterally.
Closing this one.
There has been a PR merged in the last day or two (see https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/pull/8381) that adds Discord handles - it allows adding/editing, there is no display for it, but hopefully the developer will PR that soon.
The approach taken was to use the additional fields as intended, i.e. adding an additional Discord
-named field. (For anything else the same approach can be taken)
