Hello. I'm looking for a more private (for obicous reasons) and fast discord client for android, since the app is terrible and preforms terribly on my relatively old phone. I can't change to something like matrix/signal, since I can't convert other people.

This. It's also a bit more private, since it removes most of the tracking by default

It's not completely open-source, because Discord itself isn't, but i don't think any open-source discord front-end actually exists...

Discordo is a completely open-source frontend, and it's a native TUI app written 100% in Go - no Electron/HTML/Javascript crap.

If you want a GUI app and something not so barebones, there's Dissent - a GTK4 app, also written in Go, with no Electron/HTML/Javascript crap.

And if you're a Qt fan, there's also QTCord, written in Python.

Thank you for providing links to true third party clients and not just webview wrappers and mods for the first party client.

ok this is crazy, I might stop using the webapp and start using Dissent instead, thanks
