Discord Messenger is a free messaging client compatible with Discord that can run on Windows versions as old as Windows 2000. It is in beta, and users must consider that using third-party clients for Discord is against the platform's TOS, which could potentially lead to account bans. The software requires specific steps to build and configure, including the use of OpenSSL and MinGW. It supports various features like viewing and interacting with servers, direct messages, and sending attachments but has some limitations and planned future updates.
