  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.
