However, if the script is hosted elsewhere and you just have an iFrame which shows the chat in some place of your actual site, you probably won't have a problem.
In your case, since its hosted on Discord and just links Discord to your site, it shouldn't have a problem I believe. -

It places a little icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. Go to the website to see what I mean. -

Yep
I just checked the code and it has no problems I believe, basically what it does is:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@widgetbot/crate@3" async> const crate = new Crate({ server: '299881420891881473', channel: '355719584830980096' </script>It serves the actual chat script from somewhere else. Hosting a chat script is not allowed; having chat scripts on your site hosted elsewhere is no problem, I think.

Having that said script on the website
