<del>Current workaround for macOS is to: 1. close discord 2.download this file: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/410788958277074944/821690118468272168/patch.zip and extract it. 3.You should get an app folder; paste that app folder in /Applications/Discord.app/Contents/Resources. 4.restart discord 5.you may need to go to settings to reenable the themes/plugins Credits: @lukasbableck of the BetterDiscord2 server</del>
EDIT: don’t do this. Instead, download the latest beta installer from here: https://github.com/BetterDiscord/Installer/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta
