WebCord is an “alternative client” for Discord, although it’s just running the Discord webpage in electron. Recently it updated its electron version so it supports sharing audio as well as video.
I tried it out today on mint (x11, pulseaudio) and it works flawlessly.
I still have major problems with presence detection and notifications (in Webcord. Love it on Deck tho.) Could be me. Vencord is a project I just stumbled on and it seems really solid in just about every area. Check out those plugins.
And Vencord has a desktop client “Vesktop” which works like Webcord, with audio in stream too. No presence detection but notifications have worked for me
Ive been using armcord with the vencord base, it’s super solid and not as resource intensive.

What did you switch to, what memory usage consumption caused pause and what settings were you using?

Sorry, misread that part. I was referring to plugins, which can increase CPU usage, and backend, which you can choose between vencord and webcord.
Discord is one of those things that should be avoided at all costs.
Yeah, but all of my friends use it.
They maybe you should transition them off of it if you can
Well I do agree that Discord is horrible, you’ve got to understand how hard it is to get friends that don’t care about their privacy to use something else.
So far there’s no good alternatives
