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.
use a matrix bridge to your discord account: https://github.com/beeper/bridge-manager and use any client you want, or use beeper.com if you cant host the bridges yourself
Well as far as I know beeper is still closed source and probably as private as the oficcial Discord app. Correct me if I’m wrong.
well, i wouldnt go that far, as their privacy policy is better, and their server-side is open source. But i wasnt really recommending using beeper (the app), i was recommending self-hosting the beeper bridges
Oh ok, I might try it, if or when I have my own home network.
Beeper is proprietary but their Matrix bridges are all free software, as far as I am aware. I think you can also use a free software client with Beeper’s service (that’s what people have said in the last Beeper thread I’ve seen).
