Dissent (formerly gtkcord4) is a third-party Discord client designed for a smooth, native experience on Linux desktops. Built with the GTK4 toolkit for a modern look and feel, it delivers your favorite Discord app in a lightweight and visually appealing package.
Note
Using an unofficial client at all is against Discord's Terms of Service and may cause your account to be banned! While Dissent tries its best to not use the REST API at all unless necessary to reduce the risk of abuse, it is still possible that Discord may ban your account for using it. Please use at your own risk!
