       | Is using a screen reader a self-bot? Is a non-screen reader
       | Firefox add-on that uses the API a self-bot? What if I write an
       | add-on that keeps track of Discord-specific state via it? What if
       | that add-on exposes an API to read my DMs? What if it exposes an
       | API to send them?

       | anyone on those services _knowing_ I'm using an XMPP client.
       | 
       | I would need group messaging to work, however. Looking forward to
       | that potentially becoming possible some day!

           | What I mean is, when I type in my XMPP client, I want someone
           | in e.g. Discord to see:                   [Wowfunhappy]
           | "hello world"
           | 
           | And not:                   [TransportBot] "Wowfunhappy: hello
           | world"
