3rd party apps for discord (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I’ve never used discord but there’s a couple communities I want to browse that apparently only are in discord. The official app seems like shit privacy wise so I don’t want to install it. What alternatives are recommended? Or some work around?

BetterDiscord is one, and it supports plugins. Note tho: Discord has some sloppy inconsistent management so they might just randomly decide to ban that client one day

Officially, all third-party clients are already against ToS. Only bot accounts are officially allowed to use the public API.

Officially they're also acting according to their own tos, law and are transparent. But in reality, they don't, don't properly and don't.

Hence why I alluded to their mess of management rather than their tos. It's there mostly for appearance and decoration.
