That's an obvious bait, or you're windows user.
Let's forget for a while all freedom, privacy and security issues. Even after that discord isn't a good software, because it can't do anything without (((their))) servers. You can't use it in your private network, host own servers, etc. (server in the original meaning, not shitty discord speach). Discord is not a real software, it is just a web browser, that pretends to be a communicator, whereas it is just a website - service provided by a corporation.
Discord fucking sucks
Just verify by email and use ripcord instead of official client.
Also delete your messages by using a bot that bans and invites you every week so your messages up to 1 or 2 weeks would be deleted automatically. And delete and make a new account every now and then. Accessing frozen data, deleting and reconfiguring it is costly to discord so they dont offer any easy way to delete all the messages.
Also there is discordcrypt as well
gitlab.com
I wish riot.im wasnt buggy so people would use that instead of discord.
Try the pidgin plugin. It sucks balls, and you'll lose history, but it's better than nothing.
I'm not OP but I was looking for a better Discord client, thank you, you lovable mothefucker. Now I can enjoy enjoy modern times with less botnet.
Seems like someone would have a working competitor by now, but nope nope nope.
Appearently sending this gif crashes the whole app. Electron is such a joke.
cdn.discordapp.com
why do people install "clients" to use this? its just a website and all it needs is a normal browser.
