Discord keeps crashing randomly

Discord on my computer crashes constantly at random intervals. Sometimes I can use it for hours without issues, other times it crashes just 10 minutes after starting. I **thought** that this had to do with the streaming software, **so through the settings I turned off all hardware acceleration on the app, but it still didn't fix it**.
I opened it through the terminal and used it for a while, when it finally crashed this is what I got back:
(the crash showed an empty line)
Failed to get crash dump id.
Report Id: 2d1c5958-f780-43
Segmentation fault
When opening the app, the terminal also returned that my Discord was up to date and there were no new updates available. There was also an optional module line which read: Optional module ./ElectronTestRpc was not included.
Some information that may be useful:
1. The flatpak version of Discord does **not** crash, but after some hours of use, **whether streaming my screen or not**, the app lags and becomes unresponsive. This does not happen in the regular version.
2. On a post from around 2 years ago I saw people complaining that this crash had something do to with the **glibc** package not being updated or not working, I'm not sure if it still applies.
3. **I have been dealing with this issue since Discord updated to version 0.0.20**, that is exactly when it started and no amount of reinstalling, fixing broken packages and updating and cleaning the system has fixed it.
4. In my personal experience the crashes happen **mostly** when I am streaming my screen, either gaming or not, but not **exclusively**. Sometimes it just happens when I'm in a call.
So, how do I fix Discord so that it will stop crashing?
