Could you elaborate? Slack provides client tokens and they don't seem to forbid that in the way Discord does (in fact they explicitly provide client tokens via OAuth).

To be fair, the ones I specifically remember were various browser extensions and plug-ins that would modify the browser version of Slack's official client.

However, I could have sworn there were a few full-fledged clients that Slack didn't like. I feel like one of them was a terminal-based client.
