## What it is
Abaddon is an alternative Discord client written in C++ using GTK 3, offering a lightweight non-Electron desktop experience with voice chat support. It implements most Discord chat features including embeds, threads, reactions, moderation tools, and customizable styling.

## Use cases
- use discord without electron
- lightweight discord client for linux
- discord client with voice support
- customizable discord chat client
- low memory discord client
- discord client that avoids spam detection

## When to choose
- you want a native GTK Discord client instead of Electron
- you need voice chat in a lightweight third-party Discord client
- you want deep UI customization and styling
- you run Linux or a low-resource desktop where the official client is heavy

## When to avoid
- you need guaranteed compliance with Discord's terms of service, as third-party clients risk account flags
- you require full feature parity with the official client such as screen sharing or activities
- you need a mobile Discord client
- you are uncomfortable with a client that mimics the web client to evade detection
