I feel like it's a problem that modern chat platforms don't care about users being able to control their experience on the platform, or actually want to prevent it (with Discord's ToS banning client modifications, for example), and I think that's unacceptable for what's become the primary means of socialization for a lot of people.
Plugins and alternate clients need to make a return. Telegram does get some credit for publishing source code and API info.
@NovaSquirrel I started using Discord a lot more once I discovered Ripcord:

@rainwarrior @NovaSquirrel That looks cool... I wish it was open source 😆
@Tobi @rainwarrior Not being open source and (from what I can tell) not having scripting are why I haven't tried it. If you don't like something about it or want a feature you can't do anything about it. Even then, the ToS prohibits it.
@NovaSquirrel Yeah. I've been thinking about taking a closer look at BetterDiscord or what's it called.
Maybe I can make the official client be nicer...
