How to Temporarily Bypass Discord ToS Update - eviltoast

Steps

1: Use browser Addon uBlock Origin or other extension for picking and disabling HTML such as Tampermonkey etc.

  1. Open Discord in Browser

  2. Pick and make filter against elements:

discord.com##.scrollerBase__65223.thin__62e51.content_b28aab
discord.com##.rootWithShadow_d20cd6.fullscreenOnMobile__05784.small_f8e677.root_a28985
discord.com##.withLayer__29ace.backdrop__1a911

NOTE: This will also bug the preview for files when you click them, but it’s still usable.

For those of you who wish to backup Discord posts and conversations, you have a few choices.

  1. If you are very tech-savvy you can transfer everything over to a Matrix Self-Host, then take it offline so that it functions as a storage medium.

  2. You can use several open source tools such as Tyrrrz’s discord chat exporter

Be warned: leaking your Discord User Authentication Token could be potentially harmful.

    The mere notion of refusing to agree to forced terms is soothing and gives a vindicating feeling, but yes it’s clear that long term leaving the platform is the best solution.
