> Discord deliberately offers (and this project uses) an API for posting from non-bot accounts, which implies that there are at least some legitimate use cases for using it.
The official client uses the exact same API as bot accounts, with the exception of a few endpoints being restricted to certain account types. Any form of "use a user account via API endpoints" outside of OAuth is discouraged, to say the least, although in general they won't actively hunt down people who do so.
