Discord bots, on multiple occassions, have DM'd me child pornography with invite links to related servers. I have no idea how these bots have found me or why they are allowed to message me, and so far any attempt to make Discord answer me about them has failed.
This earned yet another twitter DM to them telling them they fucked up. They benefit directly from the open source community so this is a huge "fuck you" to everyone involved.
Slimey, shitty tactics. I was previously going to run a company through them but now I'm going to evaluate other options.
Fucking hell, I'm using finch to handle discord notifications on my pinephone from my girlfriend. If discord starts enforcing the no 3rd party client thing I'm dumping it.
I wonder what this means for Ripcord, https://cancel.fm/ripcord/
I know modding the official client is against the rules, but how is a replacement client in breach when there’s a public API?
Does anyone know the specific rule, in the ToS, that Cordless breaks?
Ok, but why? Is it about the "no custom clients allowed" part of ToS?
That's sad to see a open source project closing down like this :(
Any open-source alternatives?
I am looking for: - Voice/video chat with PTT integrated - An okayish chat with search feature
I would like to be a part (developer) of such project.
Spartial channel structure (like in spartial.chat) is a welcome thing — I would like to make some sort of distributed hackspace with that.
as a contributor, this is a very sad thing to happen, there should be at least a way to submit custom clients and digitally sign them so Discord can allow using those that are accepted
Can't we implement an opensourced sever with the same api and let cordless be the client to the opensourced server?
Or the Api is also copyright?
I disagree with the closure. They should fight Discord to provide an open source alternative client for a closed system who is attempting to trap their users.
It really is time to start a push to move open communities to open source software. Running a whole bunch of open communities out of slack and discord has always surprised me.
Slack is particularly bad with making anything longer than 10k messages inaccessible. The amount of internet history being lost in these groups is boggling.
