Won't using a 3rd party app for Discord get your account banned?

  It's probably against their terms of service, so maybe. It probably depends on a combination of (over)zealous automation and whether they feel it's in their expedient interest to crack down on.

    Their client exists almost entirely to collect data about you (chiefly what games you're playing and with whom.) That's one reason they are so quick to ban non-official-client users.

    It's actually not https://discord.com/terms https://discord.com/terms Although like with all things, proceed with caution.

  From today's conversation about Thunderbird 102: yes, it seems running a 3rd-party client has a high chance of receiving a ban. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31914288#31915716 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31914288#31915716

  Not necessarily, although this gets routinely brought up in the Ripcord Discord server. Ripcord essentially just uses the browser APIs, so it's not really different from opening Discord in Firefox. That being said, Discord can ban people at random for whatever reason they choose, and this has happened before. For the record, I've been using Ripcord with the same Discord account for 3 years, daily.
