FAQ

What's this?

Heavily WIP, but will eventually become an ncurses Discord client able to use
either bot or user account.

Currently allows reading text channels. Should work on Linux/Windows and
SBCL/CCL/ECL. Tested only on Linux+SBCL.

Is it a self-bot?

Self-bot is the opposite of what Dithcord is. Self-bot is an automated user
account. Dithcord doesn't automate and is mostly tested with bot accounts. It
can use a user account too but...

So it's more like a 3rd-party Discord client?

Kinda, except Discord's Terms of Service explicitly forbid implementing
3rd-party clients, so we legally can't introduce the bot as a user account. The
main differences between bot accounts and user accounts are outlined here:
