You can fake a Nitro subscription for free higher quality streaming. Look up Vendord, it hardens Discord for better security, adds themes, and plugins. One such plugin is fake Nitro.
Edit: Vencord. Got autocorrected.
Also adding I have only used fake Nitro for streaming quality. So I have no idea if it works for emojis or whatever other Nitro perks there are.
Wait, so for this to work access to the Nitro features it enables must be managed client-side and the client is fully trusted with no validation? That seems… unwise on the part of Discord.

New here? The company and people behind Discord suck shit and like all tech startups things like security are an afterthought for years on end.
Adblockers had existed for 15 years or more by the time YouTube finally started cracking down on them. I think it would probably take similarly as long before enough people were actually exploiting that loophole before Discord did anything about it.
No, the commenter ommited a lot of information, it’s not full Nitro, it’s just the features that can be enabled/worked around client-side, see my comment under the parent one.
Vendord
Just wanted to correct that is Vencord, with a C. I couldn’t find it the other way and when I added “discord” as an additional parameter I noticed the spelling was off.
I literally ended my comment with saying the service was worth the price, and you pitch a way to pirate it to me. Wild.
Well, this “pirate” option also fixed issues that plagued the Linux desktop client for years. Discord only got screen share working about a month ago, that feature has been around since 2017 (I think). Meanwhile the “pirate” option had fixed that (even on wayland) while people were waiting for the basic features to function.
Doesn’t Linux Discord still not have audio streaming unless you use Vesktop?
To be clear, a pirated copy of something may well be improved over the original but that doesn’t make it not a pirated copy, so you can lose the quotes. It sounds like Discord is not in a good place on Linux and I’m sure I’d agree it’s not worth the cost of the sub if I were on Linux.
It’s your opinion that the service is worth the price; I know nobody who shares that opinion. Sharing an alternative shouldn’t be seen as hostile or “wild”. If it was like a buck a month, I’d pay that. But at checks notes $3/month for increased upload size (I have a nas with public file sharing, so…) and… emoji? or $10/month for the above + “super reactions” (wat), not-ass streaming res, “server boosts” (???) and “custom profiles” (what does that even mean? a background?)… You’re kidding me, right? I pay less for my web hosting, or my vps, my security/AV software… Even Bitwarden, or NextDNS, is pennies compared to nitro. Ten bucks a month is actually insane from my perspective. $120 a year for bigger uploads and decent streaming resolution is highway robbery.
To use your term: wild.
The downside is it’s against their ToS, and you could have your account banned or similar if they do decide to take action.
Eh I mean there are lots of connections I’ve made with people only on discord that would suck to lose.
