## What it is
Dissent (formerly gtkcord4) is a lightweight third-party Discord client built with GTK4 and libadwaita for a native Linux desktop experience. It focuses on text chat with Markdown, emoji, threads, and theming, deliberately omitting voice chat and other advanced features.

## Use cases
- native discord client for linux
- lightweight discord app without electron
- discord text chat on gnome desktop
- discord client with gtk4 and libadwaita
- flatpak discord alternative
- discord client with custom css theming

## When to choose
- you want a fast, native-feeling Discord client on Linux
- you prefer GTK4/libadwaita apps that match your GNOME desktop
- you mainly need text chat, not voice or video
- you want a lightweight alternative to the official Electron client

## When to avoid
- you need voice chat, video calls, or screen sharing
- you need full thread, forum, or reaction support
- you use Windows or macOS as your primary desktop
- you rely on every feature of the official Discord client
