      Account deletion will not delete your messages, which you must do manually or by following this tutorial to ask messages deletion: https://khcrysalis.dev/mass-deletion/ (Take 24 hours or more to fully remove messages). NOTE: Only not-accessible messages will be removed, meaning you need to leave every servers you’re on and close all of your DMs before submitting your demand. If you’re a server owner, you’ll need to either delete the server, or transfer ownership for account deletion to succeed. Account deletion takes 15 days on average (You can restore your account in this time).

        Huh thanks for the advice, I wonder whether they’ll actually let non-EU citizens quote GDPR for message deletion, surely they know what country I am from, I personally just wrote a discord bot to delete my messages in the servers I’m most active in since conincidently that’s also where I’m admin.

        The non-accessible requirement is confusing since pretty sure requesting your message data only gives you the messages from the servers you still have access to?

    about to do the same when it hits me with that. it kind of sucks because there’s some communities that I’ll lose contact with, including my IPTV service.

      Why wait? Start actively working out solutions alternatives. You can’t take care of everything at once but you gotta play offense.

        there is no solution if those communities don’t take an issue with discord’s terms, just removing yourself from them

    Is there a new "default"platform everyone is moving to? I’m kind of surprised there isn’t an open source discord clone that comes with e2e encryption. I’m not tech savvy enough to understand the challenges involved I’m sure.

      This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think a Discord clone would need e2e encryption. Some large Discord servers have hundreds of thousands of users. I just think that if you want a small private communication channel, something like a Signal group would work better.

      I’ve seen Stoat thrown around, I think the best swap right now is to matrix though.

        Yeah I’ve tried both. Stoat looks good and seems like the best option for similar organization but matrix seems better in terms of privacy. If matrix wasn’t so clumsy it would be hands down the best option.

            I’ve tried most of these. A lot seem more geared towards slack alternatives or more like work chat type things. Voice chat is critical and some lack it or have it tacked on. Teamspeak is the opposite which text chat is tacked on. The closest alts right now are stoat, fluxer and root. Fluxer and stoat and open source, root is VC funded. I’m pushing for fluxer personally. But he is getting hug of death at the moment.
