Let's see if the flatpak ideas about sandboxing being pushed down our throats actually prevent these abuses or not...

I'm honestly so sick of everything being sandboxed. The security is not worth the hassle.

More so, if it is easily sandboxed, it should just be a webapp. Which discord already is.
Just use the website.

Browsers are already easily themed, have plenty of tools to change deeper functionality, and are way more sandboxed than any other app packaging ecosystem.

That’s a good argument.
