    How is beeper reading my Discord DMs without breaching Discord TOS?

    Their ToS and privacy clauses are way too opaque for something that’s not open source. No from me, Ma’am.

        I’ve already had Discord accounts snupped out from under me for not giving them my phone number, I don’t wanna give them a real reason to ban me 😅

        Discord’s own Linux client is kinda ass and keeps breaking my build using old insecure electron versions/forcing you to update before you can use the app while not being up to date in my package manager

        Gotta use a custom client anyway to keep my sanity intact

      It’s open source, here’s the code. It uses the discordgo library to connect to Discord and read your DMs.

      e: You’re free to download and deploy the source yourself, and write your own ToS. That’s the nice part of open source software.

          You were asking how it interacts with Discord. That is the code.

          Beyond that it’s running a version of Synapse and has its own client - the latter being optional.
