    I want to improve my privacy and now discord is a big border in front of me. I cant switch to matrix because my friends wont but i found some alternative clients which are blocking trackers and just using Electron like the original discord client. Do you know other good alternatives and why is yours the best? I found "ArmCord" and "discord-sandboxed". My question is can i trust them? Which one is better? Do you know more?

    Sadly no, but its more privacy respecting than the regular client for sure. FOSS options include: https://github.com/diamondburned/gtkcord4 https://github.com/uowuo/abaddon https://github.com/terminal-discord/weechat-discord (weechat plugin to use Discord within weechat) https://github.com/evelyneee/accord (seems to be for M1 macs) https://github.com/ArmCord/ArmCord (seems to support AMD64, not just Arm64) https://github.com/khlam/discord-sandboxed (sandboxing for standard discord client) There are others I'm sure. One easier option is to run the Discord code in a newer version of Electron. This still isn't open source, but it provides better security and performance. Arch users can use the AUR package discord_arch_electron, other users can just follow the commands in the PKGBUILD for said package and figure it out. Hope that helps. Keep in mind even if your client is open source, Discord's servers aren't, and while there will be some mitigation of data collected, it'll still be quite a bit.

    Not sure if it still works (or will continue to work) but this might be what you're looking for: https://cancel.fm/ripcord/

    I've also had fairly good results using gtkcord4, though it takes it little finagling to get up-and-running: https://github.com/diamondburned/gtkcord4
