Because the discord desktop program is kind of crap? Why can't I collapse the godamn channel list? edit: because I was misunderstood, I mean collapsing the column so that chat takes up the entire window space. I've only been able to do this through developer mode edits.

It's all so bad. Wasted UI space. Takes up my entire screen. Sys req is way out of proportion for a chat client. Weird UI prompts.

You can collapse the channel list if the channels are grouped together.

They also recently added server folders so you can collapse the server list.

You don't have to use it in full screen... just resize the window...

Resizing the window does not change anything, it makes things worse as the messages now will not be displayed properly. Try it. Resize the window, you will notice the parts whose size does not change at all.

Why is that in a 80x24 terminal I have everything on screen while typical Electron applications require one workspace per application otherwise the crucial data becomes ugly? Just let us resize bits or make them collapsible or something.
