Tiny native Discord app
About
Dissent (previously gtkcord4) is a third-party Discord client designed for a smooth, native experience on Linux desktops.
Built with the GTK4 and libadwaita for a modern look and feel, it delivers your favorite Discord app in a lightweight and visually appealing package.
Dissent offers a streamlined Discord experience, prioritizing simplicity and speed over feature completeness on par with the official client. Here's what you can expect:
- Text chat with complete Markdown and custom emoji support
- Guild folders and channel categories
- Tabbed chat interface
- Quick switcher for channels and servers
- Image and file uploads, previews, and downloads
- User theming via custom CSS
- Partial thread/forum support
- Partial message reaction support
- Partial AI summary support (provided by Discord)
It does not aim to support voice chat and other advanced features, as these are best handled by the official client or the web app.
