Hi, Dissent actually makes no effort to try and hide itself from Discord! In fact, API calls via Dissent have their User-Agent header set to "Dissent (https://libdb.so/dissent)" to emphasize the fact that they're NOT performed by the official client.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28435490 goes into this, but Discord doesn't actually care if you use a third-party client. They only care if said client misuses the API, and that happens to include a lot of past clients. I've been developing a handful of Discord clients for several years now and have never had my account banned, but I have a backup account just in case this scenario happens.

Of course, people may still be banned for using Dissent, so use it at your own risk.

You're misusing the API by not following what headers are used by Discord itself, so this comes off as fairly irresponsible. 2021 was a long time ago, so I wouldn't take anything said there as accurate to current times.
