Are there any privacy friendly Discord clients or frontends?

I have the impression it's against their TOS to use an alternative client, so is it worth it to even use one?

You can use Discord through Matrix. You just need a server with the corresponding bridge installed.

For example Beeper.

Oh, very interesting. I didn't know this was a possibility. What would be the advantage of doing this?

[-] Madbrad200@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The advantage is you get to use Matrix.

But most servers are not going to install a bridge, so.

You can use one client for Signal, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Matrix, IRC, Facebook, Twitter, iMessage etc.
