Sadly yes.

And you can blame all the fuckers who ran to Slack and VSCode, for it. Once electron became "acceptable in polite society", it was all over.

Agreed. My main problem with Electron apps is just how slow it loads, even on an M1 Mac (~20 seconds loading time vs the normal 1 second or less). Discord is certainly no exception to it, and even steals focus twice while loading.

Personally I have to quit Discord to keep myself from getting distracted, so it’s way worse when you have to wait so long just to reply to a notification.

Super snappy for me (with countless of crowded servers constantly bombarding messages).
