I’ve never used discord but there’s a couple communities I want to browse that apparently only are in discord. The official app seems like shit privacy wise so I don’t want to install it. What alternatives are recommended? Or some work around?

They have a web ui that works well enough with no need to install anything.

I only know of one other discord client and it’s just a wrapper around the official one anyway.

Yeah. Use website in Firefox and turn up all the tracking blockers + use Ublock + noscript. Firefox on Android let's you install websites as self contained "apps" on your home screen too, where it runs in full-screen like a native app (which is all the native app does in the first place, it's a lazy ass electron container).

Damn, I knew it's not really native (the original one)
