Alternative are cropping up. I've been testing out solutions with other nerds.

https://www.beeper.com/ is promising. It's set of matrix bridge over 15 chat network or so.

Neat.

I've been successfully using their iMessage bridge for my personal server for about a year now. It's very nice to use iMessage on my Linux machines, since that's the chat network everyone around me has decided to use.

Is this in accordance with those services’ TOS? How can you be sure you won’t get banned?

For instance, I remember hearing that Discord banned users who used alternative clients.

Good point. From my pov they can then shove their service up their ass but it’s a valid concern.
