It's a way of controlling the software .... it would be a lot more difficult to make changes, even change settings or adjusting the software from time to time if it's constantly being updated every week.
I noticed this with Chrome ... a few years ago, there were lots of settings, hacks and changes and adjustments you could make to the browser to avoid tracking, advertising and all sorts of other things and to generally make it run faster. All that activity is lost now because Chrome literally updates itself every week.
I run Linux and my software doesn't update it self that much ... the only thing that updates itself every week is Chrome .... the entire package about 50-60MB every time, wipes itself and reinstalls a new version every time ... so any changes you had made to the software or any attempt at adjusting anything in the deep software is all lost and reset over and over again.
My biggest problem with it is that the updates are always kinda late hitting AUR.
Help I use Debian on the desktop and don't understand the implications
I think it's about how Discord sends their updates, not sure tho.
If you want to install the desktop version of Discord I'd advice to install the flatpak. And if you don't want to install it system-wide you can install it on one user only. That's what I do anyway.

lol this is me. I know there are easier solutions but I can't bring myself to use any of them.
I assumed there was something wrong with my setup because this UX is insane. Good to know itβs just shit.
Iβd rather just use a snap than that dumb shit.
How about legcord?
