Computer science students can’t be taught to install anything more obscure than the most popular app, I guess.

      Use something like Vesktop or Goofcord. They’re wrappers for the web version with extra features and telemetry blocked/removed. As private as you’rd going to get with Discord.

      In my experience, the ones bundled in distros work okay, but tend to eventually fall behind and stop working.

      If you download the .deb from their website, it works well but sometimes, on startup, makes you download and install new one. I assume the .tar.gz version from their website works the same, but with replacing the folder manually.
