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.

ok this is crazy, I might stop using the webapp and start using Dissent instead, thanks

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