Are there any privacy friendly Discord clients or frontends?

I have the impression it’s against their TOS to use an alternative client, so is it worth it to even use one?

    There are existing communities which I don’t intend to leave and will not move.

      You can use Discord through Matrix. You just need a server with the corresponding bridge installed.

      For example Beeper.

        Oh, very interesting. I didn’t know this was a possibility. What would be the advantage of doing this?

          You can use one client for Signal, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Matrix, IRC, Facebook, Twitter, iMessage etc.

      I get that, but one of your requirement was privacy. As others have explained that is diametrically opposed to the core architecture of Discord, so if you want that requirement then that is your answer.
