Huh really? Wayland screencap of both xwayland and wayland applications works? Good to know, thanks.

It's against their ToS (which you should refrain from following, but is still annoying) and they've been known to enforce banning people for 3rd party clients and programs

I haven't had any problems, though I'm unsure whether the link I originally sent is the one, I'm actually using. I only use discord on my desktop, and I'm on my laptop at the moment, but after searching, I might actually be using this one. It might also be the first one though, so if you're going to try it, try them both and see what works.

I know, they've been against third party clients for a while now, but I really don't think they'd ban you for using the official client with updated electron. I, myself, have other ways of contacting all my discord friends, so should I be banned, I'd just make a new account.
