Alternative clients and extensions
Can you persuade your chosen system to work a bit differently?
Discord is a largely proprietary system, but the API is an open one and this means that there is a surprising number of open source clients and utilities, largely thanks to the popularity of the service. There are at least half a dozen complete replacement clients, and most of these claim to offer better privacy than the stock Discord client. There are quite a few extensions available for the official desktop and web clients that add small convenience features, such as hiding disabled emojis, showing user permissions in more detail and integrating Google Translate into the interface.
