👾 Make Discord Great ̶A̶g̶a̶in for once

Why?

Discord was never a friend to begin with. However, if you are going to use such an evil service, at least do so any better? You should have a better experience with the following modifications. It's called fedcord because I don't trust it anymore than I already did.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

In-order for any of this to work, you'll need the following:

• A Brain: Shouldn't be hard to follow along? Didn't think this needed automation.
• Discord Canary: Yes; Canary, or also known as the alpha version, needs to be installed.
• git, node, yarn: This is an Electron desktop app we're modding after all?

If the following is acquired, feel free to follow along!

Discord

As stated above, Discord Canary must be installed on your system before proceeding. I included a PKGBUILD file for building it from source within the directory titled canary. Simply check out INFO.md and determine how you want to approach the installation yourself.

OpenAsar

Would recommend doing this prior to starting the client. 😏

First, let's replace discord's app.asar file ($ whereis discord-canary) with OpenAsar for better performance and privacy. You might be best following the instructions from there, as I'll only briefly elaborate here.

1. Download this anyhow
2. Backup old app.asar file

sudo mv /opt/discord-canary/resources/app.asar /opt/discord-canary/resources/app.asar.bk

3. Replace with the new one, just downloaded

sudo mv ~/Downloads/app.asar /opt/discord-canary/resources

4. Start the client, you should be greeted with a window after the splash screen, asking you to choose some options before retarting and launching for the first time!

Powercord

Instead of going through the hassle of installing BetterDiscord installers and all of that nonsense, let me save you the trouble. We'll be installing Powercord, a powerful client mod which will further allow us to do everything we'd want to do as a user.

1. Clone the repository, cd into it, install deps, then run the script to inject your client.

git clone https://github.com/powercord-org/powercord $HOME/.config/powercord

cd $HOME/.config/powercord

yarn

yarn run plug

# 🚨 Make sure the discord process is killed
# 🚨 Open it up, check that it's injected 💉

Plugins

Now let's get to the fun stuff, adding and playing with plugins! The directory we created for Powercord within .config is a bit too nesty for my taste, if we're being honesty here. It will leave you with a src dir and a Powercord dir inside of that. There we can find our plugins and themes directories!

1. cd into the Powercord plugins directory, clone plugins

cd $HOME/.config/powercord/src/Powercord/plugins

git clone https://git.tcp.direct/milky/pc-redirect

git clone https://git.tcp.direct/milky/pc-unindent

git clone https://git.tcp.direct/milky/pc-nitro

git clone https://github.com/Juby210/bdCompat

2. Move the only BetterDiscord plugin recommend HideChannels.plugin.js to $HOME/.config/powercord/src/Powercord/plugins/bdCompat/plugins

Themes

1. Similar to the steps above, cd into the Powercord themes directory then clone the following themes

cd $HOME/.config/powercord/src/Powercord/themes

git clone https://git.tcp.direct/milky/pc-milked

git clone https://git.tcp.direct/milky/pc-emojis

git clone https://git.tcp.direct/milky/pc-hljs

git clone https://git.tcp.direct/milky/pc-bottom
