Ripcord is a third party discord client that's been around for quite a while, as far as I'm aware they haven't run into any trouble. And they actually might get used as opposed to someone seriously trying to run discord on windows 95
I think the root of the problem in this one is that it's named "Discord Messenger", Ripcord is reminiscent but not confusing.
That's fair
Speaking as a ripcord user, it helps your unofficial client avoid being blocked when you don't update for years and fall behind on feature parity (though I personally don't miss most any of said features)
Why do you think Ripcord stopped getting updated? :)
