Is/are there any FOSS Discord Client for Android?
I use purple-discord (libpurple/Pidgin plugin) + BItlBee (IRC chat gateway, libpurple variant) + Quassel (distribued IRC client, like a bouncer) on a home server, and use Quasseldroid to connect on mobile. I would eventually like to simplify this setup.

I hate discord, but I have no option but using it, how do I give it as little access as possible?
Software options that I don't think have been mentioned yet is the Pidgin messenger + Discord plugin. https://www.pidgin.im/install/ + https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-discord

IM platform suggestions?
I've switched to Pidgin with the discord plugin. Pidgin has plugins for just about any chat protocol. Of course if Trillian's devs ever decide to support Trillian again and connect to some active service, I'd come back.

Pidgin: The Universal Chat Client
https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-discord
Its about the same as any other Pidgin protocol (no audio AFAICT), with some support for some of the features of Discord like reactions. It gets updates for new features sometimes. The author has written a lot of different libpurple plugins and is quite busy though.
Note I've heard you can get banned from Discord for not using the official client.

I 've lost 2 discord accounts by using Cutthecord. Just bite the bullet and use the pwa or the official app.
I've been using purple-discord for years now and have yet to be banned. Obviously this isn't usable on Android yet as far as I know there is not a libpurple based chat app on Android, but you can make it work with a lot of setup.

Tired of Discord being such a predominant part of the modding community, it's terrible for mod users.
You can also use it in Pidgin with this plugin. Discord is just a bunch of fancy JSONs wrapped into a web-based client, after all.

Using the Discord plugin for Pidgin as a lightweight alternative to the web client.
You may have heard of Pidgin - the neat IM client supporting lots of protocols such as IRC, XAMPP and many others. One of its major features is its extensibility with plugins, and that's where things get interesting. Apparently a Pidgin plugin exists which lets it connect to Discord and do basic things such as sending messages and images with basic IRC limitations such as previous messages being cleared upon leaving. However I think it's still a much better experience compared to the bloated web client. So, a quick disclaimer - using anything other than the official Discord client is against the TOS. They won't outright ban you for it in most cases but still be warned. So in order to get this working you need an older version of Pidgin because 2.14.7 seems to not be working properly with XP. I've had great success with 2.14.1. Here's a quick link to the 2.14.1 installer. Next, go to the plugin's github page and download the 2 linked DLL files under the 'Windows' section in the readme. Put libjson-glib in the Pidgin installation folder and libdiscord in the plugins folder, then restart Pidgin. Next, go to Accounts and set up your Discord account after which you will have your servers pop up in your buddy list. It's this easy! https://imgur.com/WMBHXY2

I Live in IRC (2015)
> TOO many bots log entire channels out to public html sites. This is prevalent in everything like discord etc but the degree to it in IRC is just ridiculous god knows what any of those 1500 bots in a channel are doing.
These sorts of bots are quite rare on Discord, you usually have to make an account to be able to see anything. There have been attempts at standardizing this (like https://www.answeroverflow.com/) but they haven't taken off. Public logs are much more common on IRC than on Discord.

Don't Use Discord as a Forum
I agree that the discord centralization for Q&A is becoming problematic, it makes it less discoverable and searchable (Had this problem a lot with Svelte).
That said, I have had success so far using https://www.answeroverflow.com/ to search discord for questions. It sucks we have to use such tools, but given the current situation, it's also better to adapt.

Discord Is Not Documentation
We've started mirroring our Discord to the web using https://www.answeroverflow.com/
You could roll your own equivalent but AnswerFlow has some nice features and handles issues around consent nicely.
If you're starting a Discord then I'd strongly recommend stating upfront that you might mirror content to another location even if you're not doing it now - it makes it a lot easier than doing so further down the line.
A better solution would be to not use Discord but friction, push-back from my colleagues on alternatives and a fear of fragmenting the community made this the best option for us.
