Vesktop is great. However, with the Discord IPO looming (https://www.ign.com/articles/discord-is-reportedly-exploring-an-ipo) it is definitely time to abandon ship.

MODERATORS
They have exploring an IPO for like 4 years now.
They've gotten very serious in the last month, sounds like it's finally happening
I was going to say, it seems you're still using Discord with this and that's not a great thing.
I only use it online for the occasional (like maybe twice a year) time some open-source or super custom project uses it like Not From Concentrate's SFF PC case community
Good to know
Wish I didn't have to see the forced loading weeb spinner on startup. Otherwise incredible client and offers many extra configuration options
Equibop which is a fork of Vesktop opted for the troll face. Vesktop stopped working when I swapped desktop environments so I had to use Equibop.
Fyi it's Vencord's mascot "shiggy" or her real name kenomimi-chan
