This whole thing really reminds me of the Beat Saber modding community, because (almost) every time a major update gets released most of the mods are completely broken, and sometimes weeks for them to work again. This is also the time the game Beat Saber itself gets review bombed by some little kids who ask why they broke the mods, which is not their goal at all, they just want the game to be more stable and enjoyable. So I am really sorry for all the mod devs (and discord devs) who are always the victims of some mindless egoist creatures that sometimes don't realize that all of this, is. completely. free.

[@sixfr0nt]

same thing with the sims 4! every time basically any updates are released, mods break and chaos ensues. EA has never explicitly stated they’re against modding but they somehow manage to always break them!

Thats just the way programs work you know... Methods that worked for one piece of code(executable) now does not work since its that much different. Not trying to be smart or anything, but just clarifying.

[@dylan10182000]

Man and the thing is, as a BS player myself some of the mods for the game are absolutely essential for me to enjoy the game so I respect and greatly appreciate the work the mod devs put into updating the code. Tbh I rarely ever even update the game nowadays cause all the mods I use are there and I couldn't care less about whatever new monthly dlc they come out with (like seriously Lizzo? Nobody was out there clamoring for her music to be added)

Our rewrite, AliucordRN is still in progress and will not be ready for release anytime soon.

for even more proof that discord didn't do this to 'sabotage' client mods, they also have to face some of these problems themselves, with a discord developer even requesting for a feature here (can't send the link rip), and mentioning the possibility of discord making a plugin to fix one of these issues (as they had previously done with babel) btw shoutout to all the devs, just from having to fix my one plugin, i can understand how much effort people would have to put in to fix their many massive plugins

[@lightre3893]

One of the things that upset me the most was Discord's mandatory switch to application commands.

[@auriosi8535]

Not at all mandatory, just that you need a reason to use prefix commands now (using prefix isn't a reason). If you don't have that reason, you can always change your prefix to your bot's mention, because the bot will always get the content of messages that mention it. This was an important privacy change, because message content is by far the most sensitive data a bot can access (more so than presence and members), so it's great that only bots that need it to function (and have no alternate way of operating) can access such data, and not say, a fun bot.

[@lightre3893]

Instead, it can issue warnings when sharing private information such as passwords on a server. For example, it gives you a warning when sharing your token. This would be much nicer. Users can transfer private information to each other via DM.

[@auriosi8535]

Are you talking about Discord doing that? Because they can't tell at all what might be a password, or whether any information a user shares is private. For the token part, it'd be nice for any Discord token (bot, user, oauth) to be removed, but that would also heavily increase the time it takes to send a message. And getting a system message or popup everytime I said something they think is sensitive, when I'm say, messaging in a server with all people I know IRL, would be very annoying. Besides, a lot of people also don't read popups and just click "OK", and then Discord has a problem when people start complaining in mass, even if those individuals are in the wrong. It's just much more practical and safe to lock it behind a privileged intent (they don't stop you from using prefix commands if you get the intent, you just need another valid reason). Application commands are also far better in terms of functionality, and unless you maintain your own library, it's not that difficult to implement. If you don't like change for the better, develop elsewhere.

[@aeches]

discord will do everything to add customization and speed except literally giving us backgrounds

[@hanro50]

Discord can't really do much to stop people modding their client. It's trivial to inject code as Discord is an electron application. Meaning besides the fancy renamed tar files electron uses, there isn't much they can do to stop people. As for Discord's ToS banning 3rd party clients and client mods. It is mostly to protect them against something like this where an update broke several mods. They also do some stuff on the backend to monitor for irregularities to better catch spammers. Unfortunately this means your custom client will inevitably get caught in the crossfire.

[@JessicaFEREM]

While they had a reason to do this, it still sucks that you can't have client modifications until the devs figure their way around it.

[@Pandaptable]

@@izumemori bruh no one cares lightcord was a good example of a custom client, until it shut down of course but there’s things such as ripcord as OP said, along with things such as Armcord which runs VERY well and much faster due to the way it’s built. The default discord client is a hot dumpster fire and it runs so badly. “Big no-no” yeah so is selfbotting, but I do it anyway. No one gives a flying fuck if you’re not doing anything bad

[@izumemori]

@@Pandaptable You should care about it if you don't want your account to be hijacked. It gets infinitely harder to detect abuse if you allow self-bots and automated login flow. Not to mention the extra strain on the support (which is hilariously bad as is, no need to make it worse). I also used a selfbot in like 2016 to 2017, then I talked to some discord devs about it and yea it doesn't give you as much value as it puts you at risk of getting your account yoinked or banned in the long run.

Even games that are modded are included. When you change something from the original client you look for a certain pattern to flag them and start making your changes there, hence when there is some kind of update that alter those flags your code will be broken since it looks for things that aren’t there.

The themes still work but it screwed up my Spotify status doesn’t work after it broke

[@aurastrike]

Just remember that Discord will ban you if they find you using these, so be careful when using them

[@thatspookagain4030]

On God bro! They banned my buddy Eric back in 2003 for bragging about a better discord pugin he was using. Never seen him since.

[@zeenxdownz]

they most likely won't care unless you use a plugin that breaks TOS such as deleted message restorers.

[@WildWildWeasel]

I only used BD and their plugins to keep offline copies of DMs, and I guess this was bound to happen, I’ll run vanilla until they all rebuild, hopefully

[@OGwizzwow]

Messages are often stored in your cache in your local folder including links to pics you thought you deleted so tf you achieving storing offline copies of dms using a 3rd party client when it's already been stored in your cache? Furthermore why would you need to keep offline copies? Talk about cringe 🙄

[@TechyHarcvuk]

Huh. No wonder why my client just failed. It also turns out that BetterDiscord released an update recently that fixes some things (You'd need to download the new installer from the site and reinstall BetterDiscord btw) the only thing that works atm is themes. Plugins might take some more time according to what I'm hearing. but yeah. Jeez Discord likes to make everything a pain in tha ass-

[@Basil_liy]

no wonder my discord keeps crashing...

[@redaipo]

nice folders g

[@linuxpropaganda]

now's your chance to [switch to matrix]!

[@swiftsilver]

passion project is the perfect way to describe modded clients. They are all pasted to hell and back and most have major issues

[@JJsWithJesus]

Does anyone know why modded clients are against TOS in the first place? I would understand if it was a legal issue or something, but if Discord literally just made it against the TOS because they didn't like it, then that's ridiculous. I had kind of the same question when VRChat introduced the Easy Anti Cheat update (They did that specifically to stop modders). The mods for VRChat were very useful and most of the time didn't harm anyone, so it's strange that they did that.

[@mads2486]

VrChat added anticheat due to people using plugins to crash servers, rip PAID avatars ( copyright laws ), fry graphics cards, etc etc. Of course you had the good mods, but they heavily outweighed the bad. The same thing could happen to Discord. There was a BetterDiscord plugin for example that allowed you to see channels you didn't have permission to see. You wouldn't be able to read/join them, but you could see they existed even if your permissions weren't high enough.

[@JJsWithJesus]

@@mads2486 I knew some people used malicious mods, but I had no idea people could literally fry graphics cards. It’s understandable that they removed mods in that case.

[@mads2486]

@@JJsWithJesus Yep. People would steal IP's, and literally fry your graphics card. Though people like to claim it doesn't happen- I've definitely seen it happen. VrChats security was practically non existant, and it was basically a free for all. Headsets were being broken too. I dont know the technicalities of it though.

[@Hugal.]

What are you on about? You CANNOT fry any graphics cards with mods, i created mods for VRChat and it was impossible to do it, the only thing someone can do to someone else is crash their game with an avatar, people can know your location easily without needing mods too since VRChat doesn't have good security for it but that has nothing to do with mods at all, ripping avatars still works because they are stored in your local folder, again without any use of mods, please don't spread misinformation.

[@mads2486]

@@Hugal. Again, I'm not sure exactly how it was done. Maybe they got the persons IP through VRChat, and somehow gained access to their PC to mess with their gpu- I really dont know. But im 99.999% sure I've seen it happen. It definitely isnt a common thing that happens every day, but I can guarantee it happened.

[@thierrydecker8110]

I had never heard of Discord Client Mods until now. It actually sounds interesting.

[@XericIsNotMyName]

im glad that its only for desktop and NOT on mobile

[@SyncronedStuff]

Yeah, aliucord is still in the run

[@maple129]

Yep, I had to uninstall BetterDiscord because Discord prevented me from loading the app and it said "Error"
