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.

            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
