Hello. I’m looking for a more private (for obicous reasons) and fast discord client for android, since the app is terrible and preforms terribly on my relatively old phone. I can’t change to something like matrix/signal, since I can’t convert other people.

    Aliucord is a good client mod, not of the new react native version, but the old 126.21 version. much faster than the laggy react garbage

      This. It’s also a bit more private, since it removes most of the tracking by default

      It’s not completely open-source, because Discord itself isn’t, but i don’t think any open-source discord front-end actually exists

        Discordo is a completely open-source frontend, and it’s a native TUI app written 100% in Go - no Electron/HTML/Javascript crap.

        If you want a GUI app and something not so barebones, there’s Dissent - a GTK4 app, also written in Go, with no Electron/HTML/Javascript crap.

        And if you’re a Qt fan, there’s also QTCord, written in Python.

          Thank you for providing links to true third party clients and not just webview wrappers and mods for the first party client.

      I never had good experiebce with this app. It’s too buggy, it crashes alot and plugins usually don’t work.
