The code is very auditable. I have not audited it myself though so I have no idea if it's actually good, but you can absolutely audit it.

Is Discord client code available?

[-] semperverus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

kind of

If you download the client, it's just an electron app, so all of the bits written in js/css/etc are sitting right there in the client itself. People have used this to repackage it with customizations, such as webcord (nicer user experience on Linux) and others.

As for the compiled bits... well, every binary executable is open source if you're brave enough
