What is the point of all the Discord """forks""" when all of them are just the web client in a shell?Fuck they don't even do anything interesting wiht Discord visually, much less under the hood.
Because Discord is by FAR the most dominant social platform among private nerds (no, stop, no one asked for your schizo shit no one uses) and since you're never convincing the unwashed masses to switch to something more private, and Discords API will never allow a proper reimplementation, the forks are pretty much as good as it gets.
Better performanceBetter securityBetter sandboxingBetter resource usageWorks better on linuxThere are also client that don't use the web clienthttps://github.com/Discord-Client-Encyclopedia-Management/Discord3rdparties
>>106825955Discord is super anal about third party clients and ban accounts over it
Why not just use your own browser then?At this point you're feeding your data to:>Discord themselves>whatever browser they happen to use to shell the Discord site>possibly the developers too
>>106826749I use vesktop cause of added functionality
>>106826749because of this
Just use Telegram.
>>106826652really, I have been using third party clients both windows and android for at least 6 months
>>106825955>What is the point of all the Discord """forks""" when all of them are just the web client in a shell?Because being a web client was never an issue worth solving for 99.9% of userbaze
the important part isn't what client you use, it's that you connect to the fed-run servers
>>106827162never got that after using it everyday for years
>>106826652literally no one has EVER been banned over it though
>>106825955Any recommendations?
vesktop
>>106825955>What is the point of all the Discord """forks""" when all of them are just the web client in a shell?We're in web 3.0 where everything is a web client in a shell. The idea of writing a unique protocol is dead because there's no portability unless Chrome can run it
aarch64 user checking inI use something called Legcord
Vesktop is okay. I still hate discord but I don't have to face the godawfully long loading times of the vanilla app
also discord is a faggot platform for pakis
>>106825955I can't be the only one who had no idea there were Discord forks before this thread. What's the use case? I get the improved performance/compatibility part, but maybe I don't use it enough to notice any issues. Do these forks offer anything else?
they look neatthat's it
