What makes it appalling?

You can press ctrl + K to jump to any channel from anywhere. Feels snappy.

I wonder if this is just everyone else using it on massive gamer PCs and me using it on mobile/chromebook, but .. no. It it is not snappy. The process of fetching all the new messages and rendering them takes up to a second.

I don't understand why people who insist on 60fps games are happy with a 1fps chat app, but I guess they don't have that experience.

Even on mobile switching channel feels snappy to me. The images can take a while if they are not cached yet.

I'm using a $6000 gaming rig I put together and Discord is one of the worst performing apps I use, so I'm with you on this one.

Could this be an internet connection issue?

Do you even have slow performance when switching between two channels that are "loaded"?

And yet the one thing I can't do is automatically jump to the top of a question. One of my Discord servers loves doing FAQs as separate conversations, and once they get too many replies, I have to scroll endlessly (PgUp, etc) to see the first few comments. It's maddening.

Hexchat feels snappy. Discord feels like an Electron app.
