How is beeper reading my Discord DMs without breaching Discord TOS?
e: Their ToS and privacy clauses are way too opaque for something that's not open source. No from me, Ma'am.
I've been using a Discord bridge with Beeper for three years with no problems.
That's not what I asked
It's open source, here's the code. It uses the discordgo library to connect to Discord and read your DMs.
e: You're free to download and deploy the source yourself, and write your own ToS. That's the nice part of open source software.
That's the source code for the Discord bridge, I'm talking about Beeper
you can use any opensource matrix client with your beeper account
You were asking how it interacts with Discord. That is the code.
Beyond that it's running a version of Synapse and has its own client - the latter being optional.
