About Dissent
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.
