I’ve never used discord but there’s a couple communities I want to browse that apparently only are in discord. The official app seems like shit privacy wise so I don’t want to install it. What alternatives are recommended? Or some work around?
I use Vesktop
second this, is the best, only way I use discord.
also ewwww discord
Couldn’t agree more 😂
They have a web ui that works well enough with no need to install anything.
I only know of one other discord client and it’s just a wrapper around the official one anyway.
Yeah. Use website in Firefox and turn up all the tracking blockers + use Ublock + noscript. Firefox on Android let’s you install websites as self contained “apps” on your home screen too, where it runs in full-screen like a native app (which is all the native app does in the first place, it’s a lazy ass electron container).
Damn, I knew it’s not really native (the original one)
BetterDiscord is one, and it supports plugins. Note tho: Discord has some sloppy inconsistent management so they might just randomly decide to ban that client one day
Officially, all third-party clients are already against ToS. Only bot accounts are officially allowed to use the public API.
Officially they’re also acting according to their own tos, law and are transparent. But in reality, they don’t, don’t properly and don’t.
Hence why I alluded to their mess of management rather than their tos. It’s there mostly for appearance and decoration.
