  This apparently breaks their TOS, but I don't know if anyone got in trouble over it yet

    Can you show where in the TOS third-party clients are disallowed? (The Discord TOS does not even mention third-party clients.)

        That's not the TOS. That's a 3 year old tweet with multiple people in the replies asking to cite where in the TOS it says that, and no further reply from the official account.

        Keeping it vague means they can simply shrug and refer to being able to ban accounts at their own discretion
        tumult 4y ago
        Yeah, that’s already the case with every online service. They don’t need to be vague — they don’t have to give any reason for banning you.
        spoiler 4y ago
        Ah, I didn't really read the ToS, but contemplated a third party client a while ago, and was told I best avoid them due to ToS violations. I guess it must've spread through that tweet.

        so just sign up again like reddit, bans are entirely meaningless

        Reddit is one of the most difficult sites online to use as a new user. Virtually no subreddits allow new account to post. There are often waiting periods of a month for new accounts and large karma requirements that are difficult to get, because once again subs won’t let you post. Reddit is new user hostile.

        > Reddit is new user hostile. indeed it is, because if you're new and don't know about the effective shadowbanning of new users then it just looks like the site is dead meanwhile anyone actually banned will just go and pay $1 for a 3 month account with 100 karma

  Be very careful with third-party discord clients; they are officially against TOS and people have permanently lost their accounts over it.

I keep trying to use ripcord, but the reality is a workplace expects you to be able to jump on board every new feature that Slack adds within moments of it's release. Whether that be huddles, threads, recordings, etc. If we could pare our use of Slack down to just text, it would be a great alternative - but until them I'm stuck using the official client.

  Is there anything you can't do in slack's web client?
- sidewndr46 4y ago
  This is a real question: what are Slack huddles supposed to do? I run the native client. While anyone can start a huddle with me, I never see any UI for a huddle. All I get is the audio coming across. To end the huddle I have to force stop Slack and relaunch it.
  - robertlagrant 4y ago
    I really like them. No need to invite people to a meeting; just jump in. E.g. if you have an issue to diagnose as a group you can just stay on the line, and dip in and out where necessary.

      In Teams you can just call the first person up and then add more people into the call. "Jane Doe is calling you from a group chat" or whatever it says. I'm surprised this is a new-ish feature in Slack?
      - spullara 4y ago
        Not really the same thing. Huddles are voice for channels.

is there a way to get it to save deleted messages?
- tumult 4y ago
  Ripcord will temporarily remember deleted messages for channels in which you're a moderator. You can view the contents by right-clicking on the message. It won't do this if you aren't a moderator in that channel. This is to help avoid having to use a bot to log all message edits+deletes, usually done to mitigate bad actors saying something bad, getting someone else to report the message or take a screenshot of it, then delete it afterwards.

I would love to use Ripcord but I can't find any information on noise suppression/voice focus and that's a requirement for me as I play without push to talk and on mouse and keyboard so all those key presses get sent through to those in my channel. With the 1st party app, despite other issues, none of my key presses come through for people in my channel.

  If you have an Nvida card you could use Nvidia broadcast. It runs as a virtual microphone that other apps can target as the voice input. So Nvidia broadcast will receive the raw input from your real microphone, process it, and feed it to any applications that are targeting the Nvidia broadcast mic as their voice input. It also doesn't appear to add any noticeable latency. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/broadcasting/broadcast-app/ https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/broadcasting/broadcast-...
