fond memories of when the only crashes i got back in the superior chat client, mirc, were when i was running a version vulnerable to a ctcp crash exploit
I've had it crash because a game crashed. wasn't streaming and didn't have the overlay enabled or anything, it just crashed out of sympathy or something
discord is truly a workhorse among desktop applications in that pretty much anything will make it run off a cliff and die horrendously
I know its not gonna be a perfect answer for everyone, but its maybe worth mentioning in case its useful for anyone?
you can literally just run discord in a browser!
https://discord.com/app
It's great, all the usual browser sandbox stuff applies. Its notoriously hard to actually crash a browser, theyre such a massive attack surface that their safety and stability are often under an enormous amount of scrutiny.
Your extensions and preferences can even apply! You can open more tha one copy at a time!
Theres probably tradeoffs (i havent tried desktop/audio sharing or voice chatting, really, so idk) but if you just absolutely hate the client, it might be worth a trial run?
ive done this occasionally recently actually - something about Modern Games consuming 100% of my GPU means that streaming games to discord sometimes makes my discord client crash. the browser is always totally fine though.
the only real tradeoffs are no KRISP and no keybinds for toggle mute etc
