> Ripcord is a desktop chat client for group-centric service

apples and oranges?

Also, I seem to recall there was some drama about if one used Ripcord against a Discord server, it resulted in your account getting banned

IIRC, ripcord works perfectly fine as a Discord client (used it myself for some time) - but if you have ripcord and Discord clients running at the same time, logged into the same account, Discord's anti-spam measures are triggered, and your account gets banned. Discord support refused to reactivate my account, so I had to pester the Discord security lead on Twitter - who was so nice to reactivate it.

I misunderstood both the title of this post and the headline of the article. I thought linen.dev was a chat client!
