WhatsApp doesn't actually delete messages. They still get delivered afterwards.
Recently I've been using https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-gowhatsapp for accessing WhatsApp from Pidgin. After a contact sends and deletes some messages, when I connect via that plugin, the deleted messages are delivered to me. This means that WhatsApp didn't actually delete messages, and only caused the official clients to show the messages as deleted. The messages were deleted hours ago, and yet they still got delivered.

I hate my goddamned phone
This one doesn't, once my phone got dropped in the water and I didn't replace it for a few weeks, and WhatsApp on the computer worked for about three weeks or so.

Best Whatsapp client for Linux
https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-gowhatsapp with Finch might accomplish that.
- Are any of the Linux phones cheap now?

Is there an open source alternative client to whatsapp for Android?
You could probably use this Pidgin Plugin on your PC. But i would recommend user "loandowns" suggestion.

What are good replacements to common web applications?
I think pidgin has a plugin to work with whatsapp, but I haven't bothered to try it: https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-gowhatsapp

It has limitations, especially on media.

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

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.
