I'm not very familiar with Discord, but I thought the same about Slack. Slack has been aggressive in the past sending C&D letters to those who threaten their walled garden. I'm not saying it'll definitely happen in this case and I wish all the best to the developers and users of Ripcord. I sympathize with their want for non-electron desktop clients. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if they received a terse and disapproving letter from Slack's legal team.
- helge5 8y ago> Slack has been aggressive in the past sending C&D letters Could you elaborate? Slack provides client tokens and they don't seem to forbid that in the way Discord does (in fact they explicitly provide client tokens via OAuth).
- Lowkeyloki 8y agoTo be fair, the ones I specifically remember were various browser extensions and plug-ins that would modify the browser version of Slack's official client. However, I could have sworn there were a few full-fledged clients that Slack didn't like. I feel like one of them was a terminal-based client.
