Discord Won’t Delete Your Messages. One Developer Forced Their Hand.
One developer tried to delete his Discord messages the official way through a GDPR request. He lost. So he built a tool that uses the data export Discord is forced to provide to batch-delete every message. The twist: the tool only removes your side of the conversation—copies remain in other users’ inboxes. It’s a stark reminder that digital erasure is a myth, and retention is the business model.
