  Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text. Chat, hang out, and
  stay close with your friends and communities.
  
  Snaps are confined, as such Discord may be unable to perform some of the tasks it
  typically does when unconfined. This may result in the system log getting spammed with
  apparmor errors. Granting access to the system-observe interface when in the snap will
  enable the features, and thus reduce the logging.

Looks like you might have some config that's forcing the app to start under Wayland, which I don't think is supported right now. Are you setting ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=auto or similar?
