From their site:

Just as we mentioned in the beginning, using Better Discord is against the Discord’s Terms of Service. So, there is a risk of your account getting banned but that doesn’t happen a lot. Discord is not too strict on its users.

There is a security issue since we are letting an external application interact with our chats. But, you can trust it since many people use Better Discord. You can understand this just from seeing the number of people who have download Better Discord plugins and themes.

Advice : I would not use this, even if it is used by many people :crazy_face:

But if you really want to run it, this might help: Install BetterDiscord on Linux · GitHub
