Unlocking Discord Nitro Features for Free
There’s a lot of instances, for example the developer of one of the alternative clients https://github.com/Bios-Marcel/cordless

Removing discord client cordless from package manager
The cordless project https://github.com/Bios-Marcel/cordless is now abandoned and archived, and the maintainer has been banned for a ToS violation.

Richard Stallman approves
People who have been caught using third-party clients have been banned before.

We shouldn't use Discord to help with issues
The developer of the cordless Discord client got banned, presumably for using a third-party client.

Trademark Actions Against the PostgreSQL Community
The only blocking issue is that their success (and subsequent spam/abuse issues) is greater than their focus on open access, to the extent that they formally disallow 3rd party client access.
So at the one end of the spectrum with have IMAP/SMTP, in the middle we have things like Telegram (everything's GPL3! The protocol is terrible and here are all the details! Go nuts!)... and at the other end we have Discord: One Protocol, One Allowed Client™®©.
Do I use Discord? No.
Would I like to use Discord? Yes.
Why can't I use Discord? The client is too much for my older laptop.
Would I like to use Discord? Yes there are a pile of people on there I'm missing out
Can I do anything about it? Yes, I have two options:
1) use https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ until it suffers the same fate as https://github.com/Bios-Marcel/cordless
2) throw the whole thing to the wind until I have better hardware
Hmm. You know come to think about it the chances are people with similar interests are probably also stuck on older hardware too and probably won't be using Discord either...

How Discord Stores Billions of Messages (2017)
> There are alternate Discord clients, and — unlike Slack — Discord doesn't try to actively prevent people from writing alternate clients against their API.
Yes, they do.
https://github.com/Bios-Marcel/cordless:
> Hey, so I know this is somewhat of a bummer, but I got banned because of ToS violation today. This seemed to be connected to creating a new PM channel via the /users/@me endpoint. As that's basically a confirmation for what we've believed would never be enforced, I decided to not work on the cordless project anymore. I'll be taking down cordless in package managers in hope that no new users will install it anymore without knowing the risks. I believe that if you manage to build it yourself, you've probably read the README and are aware of the risks. I'll keep the repository up, but might archive it at some point. And yes, you'll still be able to use existing binaries for as long as discord doesn't introduce any more breaking changes. However, be aware that the risk of getting a ban will only get higher with time!

- Wish we could bring a Discord terminal client like this back
- Test
-
No shield of privacy though
Worth noting the developer of another third party client, Cordless, recently had their account disabled, which ended with the project sadly being abandoned.

How to be social in the terminal
To be honest, I am a fan of the excellent cordless application. Unfortunately, the creator was banned from the service for violating the terms of service. So it is not recommended anymore.

Developer’s Guide to Building Kubernetes Cloud Apps ☁️🚀
In a production environment there will be a load balancer setup with an Ingress Controller, Service Mesh or some type of Custom Router. This allows all traffic to be sent to the single load balancer IP address and then route the traffic to a service based on the Domain name or subpath. We are using a NGINX ingress controller but service meshes like Istio have been becoming the most popular solution to use as they offer more segmentation, security and granular control.

Progressive Delivery on AKS: A Step-by-Step Guide using Flagger with Istio and FluxCD
Flagger is a progressive delivery tool that enables a Kubernetes operator to automate the promotion or rollback of deployments based on metrics analysis. It supports a variety of metrics including Prometheus, Datadog, and New Relic to name a few. It also works well with Istio service mesh, and can implement progressive traffic splitting between primary and canary releases.
