The worst part about Discord is that it is against their ToS to use third-party clients (and there are reports of people's accounts being banned for them making the black hole effect worse). In particular, you can't have a client that has local chat history, local search, or just better information density on the screen:
>All 3rd party apps or client modifiers are against our ToS, and the use of them can result in your account being disabled. I don't recommend using them.

- FastEatSlow 5y agoI'd argue that it's not too significant of an issue, as generally most clients do a good job of presenting themselves with completely normal behaviour to the discord api. Most people are banned because of API limits, such as attempting to spam without keeping in mind the limits, (Random delays with around 1 msg/s last I tried), or there's a bug in the client, such as ripcord once causing a login loop for me. If you keep it sensible, it's fine. Most people using these custom clients know the dangers and keep information on how to get back into everything, so there's not too much of a black hole effect.
- samb1729 5y ago> you can't have a client that has [...] better information density on the screen A far-from-ideal means of making the client more dense is to zoom with ctrl-{-,=,0}. It's exposed as an settings option too. Rather annoyingly however it doesn't seem to reduce the minimum frame width.
