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.

use a matrix bridge to your discord account: https://github.com/beeper/bridge-manager and use any client you want, or use beeper.com if you cant host the bridges yourself

Well as far as I know beeper is still closed source and probably as private as the oficcial Discord app. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Beeper is proprietary but their Matrix bridges are all free software, as far as I am aware. I think you can also use a free software client with Beeper's service (that's what people have said in the last Beeper thread I've seen).

well, i wouldnt go that far, as their privacy policy is better, and their server-side is open source. But i wasnt really recommending using beeper (the app), i was recommending self-hosting the beeper bridges
