I use discord.com/app for exactly this reason. Its footprint is lower and the experience is almost exactly the same. And I can block things I don't like using ublock/other extensions, like animated reactions and those crazy new premium video profiles with explosions and confetti etc
I can recommend Vencord or Vesktop instead, it's a modified client with stuff like FakeNitro and Adblocker as plugins
God I wish discord just stuck to being a straightforward app without any of the fancy fluff that's just not needed. I hate the super-flashy things that obscure visibility and divert your attention so much
But it's what they sell to people, and a minority seems to really like so
They had no viable business plan with which to pay back investors so this was inevitable. It sucks though...not a day goes by where I don't grumble about what an insult Discord is to their users.
