I know modding the official client is against the rules, but how is a replacement client in breach when there’s a public API?

Does anyone know the specific rule, in the ToS, that Cordless breaks?

Not the ToS, but the "guidelines" [0] states:

  You may not use self-bots or user-bots to access Discord.

The API is explicitly for bots, so this pretty clearly bans using said API for accessing user accounts.

Adherence to the "guidelines" is accepted as part of the ToS, "you agree to comply with the restrictions and rules of use set forth in these Terms and our Community Guideline"

Thanks, I'd looked through the ToS, but didn't see the "guidelines".

Seems odd to have an API for bots but ban 3rd party clients!
