I don't think it's great to change one walled garden for another. If you are willing to change, better switch to a protocol instead. Even if there's something wrong with the server, witching between different instances is much easier than between entirely different products.

On one hand, it's cool that you have an excuse to ditch Discord. The platform sucks in several different ways and the more people leave it, the better off the world is.

But on the other - you seem to be aiming for the wrong goal. I know what it's like to have one thing blocked after the other, so I know for sure that migrating every time something gets blocked is just not a sustainable long-term strategy. You might replace Discord for unrelated reasons... But I strongly advise you to look into censorship circumvention methods. Especially stealthy ones, like they use in China. Set it up for your family and friends (maybe distributing the server costs between them). You will need it.

It is in FUTO's F-Droid repo that you can add.

I did use to use Vanced but stuck with Newpipe as it was lighter (not tried Revanced as I switched before the shutdown).

True. But not like stock Firefox is "good" either.

Yes, and that was the issue for me. Some thoughts are indeed meant to be short, but I'd prefer elaboration in a lot of cases.

Ah, and I am into radio) I don't see the offense, as well as I don't see the inherent evil here. The protocol wasn't catering to such people (idk if there are even examples of a protocol being this - only platforms, like Gab, come to mind) and it's just unfortunate it's getting such associations.

In such a situation, I usually just ask to be out of the picture.

I associate it more with a simplex mode for radio.

"Darkweb"? I was under the impression that it means a messenger that is onion/i2p-only. Simplex, while having an easy Tor integration, is mostly used by clearnet.
