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!
