In a similar vein to deadcade’s comment, Ripcord also exists also an alternative. If this exchange had happened a few months ago I would’ve recommended it above anything - but unfortunately it hasn’t been updated in a very long time at this point and it’s starting to cause some core functionality to not work.
EDIT: It’s pretty much exclusively the Slack functionality that doesn’t work anymore. The Discord side is great and is IMO has a much more useful UI, ex: you can group arbitrary channels from any number of servers into a single group which is presented in the UI pretty much as a new server. No more server hopping to check out all of your favorite channels!
You want a magic Discord speedboost? It’s called OpenAsar. Mitigates telemetry, and speeds the client up to usable levels, especially on lower end hardware.
Another vote for shitty Discord from me. If there was any app I could just magically give a speed boost to, it’s that.
Some days it annoys me enough where I just run it through Firefox/Web, especially on Linux where it’s really janky.

Oh this looks great, thank you for the shout!
