Discord straight up doesn't work on the web for me anymore. The enter key doesn't trigger anything, so I can't search or write anything. It's the most obnoxious bug I've ever witnessed.

None of these bloated apps work on the web very well anymore on Firefox I've found, even Twitter and Instagram. Especially true if you have even minor privacy settings/adblock toggled on in your browser.

I think sites like Discord just assume you'll install the app and that browser users are just boomers or the 0.1% who are more security+privacy oriented.

For Twitter, there's Nitter.

Is there any decent lean client for Discord? Chat only, no voice or whatnot.

If you’re permitting desktop apps, https://github.com/diamondburned/gtkcord4 is an option.
https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ - also a slack client!
