It’s also proprietary, like Slack I believe. Maybe we should try and encourage more use of open protocols over things like Discord or Slack.

This. For the parent, please don’t hold Thunderbird accountable for services like Discord being hostile towards users.

Discord works in Franz.

I don't like it and barely use it, but a couple of times a year I need to monitor certain groups, so I have a Franz tab which frames the webapp.
