Discord alternatives
Discord alternatives
I tested out revolt and element. Out of the two element seems to be the most well rounded. What do you people use to replace discord to protect your privacy?
You're viewing a single thread.
If you still end up using Discord over other solutions, you can use https://vencord.dev/, it is discord, but with all the telemetry pulled out of it. Been using this for when I need to use Discord, assume it's better than using normal discord at least, but probably still not a perfect solution.
I would add the caveat that since discord don't allow third party clients, you run the risk of getting your account banned for violating their ToS.
I'm fine with this personally, but it's reasonable to not be so keen if your account is important to you.
Yup that is a fair warning. However I have been using it for as long as it has existed, and not have my account banned. But can see this being more of a problem Should Vencord get really popular.
I've been using it for a decent amount of time since the first party client doesn't support wayland.
You're right in that it's probably a slim chance they'll target you, though I don't really care about getting banned in any case.
I wonder if they have a way of highlighting users who use vesktop / vencord to spoof access to nitro features like high bitrate streaming.
Afaik no one has ever been banned for using a third party client in and of itself. People have been banned for userbotting or spamming but afaik not for using a third party client as a normal human user. But yes it is technically against TOS
This is good to know, much appreciated
