TLDP (https://tldp.org) is a great traditional source of information on GNU/Linux.
Note 1: Under Artix (which is an Arch-based system), it is recommended to use pacman. However, the command
$ pacman -Ss discord | less
(more on pacman here (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman)) reveals that Discord package is in the community repository, which is an Arch repository (https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories). Arch repositories in Artix are only supported through a specific procedure (https://artixlinux.org/news.php#Arch_repositories_made_optional). Even then, if it relies on systemd, it naturally won't work on a distro which is created specifically to avoid systemd.
Note 2: Take into consideration that Discord is an anti-privacy program (https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/discord.html). It is spying on its users.
Note 3: Even more packages are revealed in AUR (which is not officially supported, neither by Arch nor Artix), by using an AUR helper (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers) like yay or pikaur.
Note 4: All of this can be found through web search. Next time go through this checklist: https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,1923.0.html
Runit is unrelated to your issues.

Note: Discord hates you and is spying on you. They're creepy and cannot be trusted.
