Removed (along with the SDK package, which came from Alchemy's private AlchemyViewer/3p-discord-sdk GitHub repo and failed to download in every Windows build).

What it did

Discord "Playing" status via the Discord Social SDK (discordpp). It showed "Playing " with elapsed time, optionally the avatar name (off by default) and location (never enabled), and a party size from nearby/voice participants. It talked only to the local Discord client. The settings were EnableDiscord, ShowDiscordActivityDetails and ShowDiscordActivityState, with a Preferences > Privacy > Discord tab.

It was compiled out of all our builds (USE_DISCORD=OFF) and used Alchemy's Discord application ID (564763931009220608).

To add it back

Register a "Slipstream Viewer" application in the Discord developer portal (art assets, name) and accept the Social SDK terms.
Package the Social SDK ourselves (a Forgejo-hosted 3p package, no private credentials) for Windows and Linux.
Restore the code from git history (removed in 3542c5fdab) with our app ID. Keep it off by default or clearly disclosed. Update the privacy policy (https://slipstreamviewer.org/privacy.html) first.
