So I have some people who want to get me into a discord chat. Is there a simple way to bridge it to matrix? I have my own matrix server but I don’t have a discord account. Is it possible to create a bridge without violating privacy?

I don’t want to create an account if I don’t have to

    It is possible to use Discord from the browser without necessarily making an account, but many big servers have restrictive measures that prevent users without a verified email addreds (or even a verified phone number, in the strictest of cases) to access. This will depend on your friends’ setup.

    I don’t know if it’s possible to bridge Discord to Matrix, but I can tell you that it’s got a pretty prolific API for building bots and integrations, so someone might have already built something of that kind. Alternative clients are tecnically against the TOS (afaik) but I know of people who have built large projects without ever getting any complaints from the company.
