Less updates, disable auto-update or scheduled updates?
Honestly, Discord is such a great app. And this greatness is becoming diminished by the fact that Discord just DOES. It updates whenever it wants, very frequently.
I have a very slow Internet. And about every little fluctuation in Down- and Upload is noticeable during gaming, which is why I tend to disable auto-update across every app that I have on my computer and schedule it for the night, so over the day I at least can play in peace. Well, not with Discord. I neither have the option to schedule an update, nor can I disable them. But our great team pushes out sizable updates pretty much every day. Sorry, but one thing I dislike about that kind of update frequency is how much my Internet bends under that weight.
Please give us an option for disabling auto-updates. So I can play in peace and Discord doesn't always interrupt my sessions.
Thank you very much.

I generally update all my software system wide (on arch linux) and having discord update on its own is completely useless in my case (and many other linux users). Please for the love of God, just add an option to turn of auto-updates! We never asked for logo changes but atleast grant us this!

what i find annoying is, we keep getting updates but nowhere can i find a log as to what update is. the list i see is old months and years old.
i also agree to an option to turn off or set a time for an update for when we will not be using discord.
seems we pay to have better internet speeds and when we get it... everyone sucks down more putting us back to square one.

It's a mess, indeed. Especially on Mac, where I used to have apps updated from the AppStore at the night time, without wasting my time at the app start.

For everyone looking how to do that - in the discord app folder (~/.config/discord/ on linux (or in your xdg config folder), in appdata I think on Windows, no clue about mac) there is a settings.json file - you can add those lines:
"SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true,
"SKIP_MODULE_UPDATE": true,
after the first line with the {
No idea for how long it was there, but this prevents discord from refusing to start unless you update it as well as from those random updates everyone here wants to get rid off.
Reminder to update your Discord once in a while as at some point it will stop working as they change their api or something, as well as security, yep

It really annoys me when I open the app and it's doing all the checking updates and other things. The worst part is it takes over all from all of the apps instead of quietly doing these updates in the background.
There are too many updates and it's really annoying as it takes around 30 seconds each time and I don't see any new features or experience any improvement in the app….
So - why so many updates with so few new things? and why take over my screen so whatever I'm doing gets disrupted?
