Are there any privacy friendly Discord clients or frontends?
I have the impression it’s against their TOS to use an alternative client, so is it worth it to even use one?

What exactly would you gain privacy wise from a 3rd party client? All communication goes through their servers anyway. I believe even voice calls go through their server and aren’t p2p.
Telemetry and other user identification but yeah the data runs through the server.

Sidebar on my Browser and Aliucord I don’t use Discord frequently however and you need to be aware of what you type there

Not really your question but Revolt is basically a 1to1 copy of discord in terms of UI.

I use Asahi Linux on M2 - Armcord works great for me! Also, I’m pretty sure it’s still fully compatible with amd64/x86_64, for others though you might have to modify source, not sure.
Edit: additionally, I don’t think anyone’s been banned from discord just for using a client, the app uses the discord api under-the-hood anyway, but I think those who make the clients are more at risk if they use them, since they’re more likely to be noticed (repeated testing/debugging and such)
