Export to what? Can I import it into Matrix? I assumed all these SaaSS products are built like carnivorous plants - The spikes only point in. I tried the data export from Asana once and it was useless.

I don't know about matrix, but you can import your slack archive into mattermost. So whatever the export is clearly well-structured enough to be useful. https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/migrating.html?hi...

JSON[0]. Here is the export I did for my employer, Hyperledger.

If you’re an owner of a slack instance, you can export all of the history without paying.

Any open-source alternatives?

I am looking for: - Voice/video chat with PTT integrated - An okayish chat with search feature

I would like to be a part (developer) of such project.

Spartial channel structure (like in spartial.chat) is a welcome thing — I would like to make some sort of distributed hackspace with that.

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" [0] https://discord.com/guidelines

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!

But where in the Discord ‘ToS’ does it say that?

This part: "The Company may terminate your Account and your access to the Service (or, at the Company's sole option, applicable portions of the Service) at any time and for any reason." https://discord.com/terms They aren't against the TOS per se, just that they can kick you out at any time for any reason. They could kick you out for typing too slowly in the official client if they wanted to.

That's a fair question and I wondered too. The way I understand it, it comes from multiple places : > You agree not to [...] copy, adapt, modify, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute, license, sell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast, attempt to discover any source code, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise exploit the Service or any portion of the S…
