If discord ever has a data beach, I'll be ruined. I can't have anyone reading the cringe shit I sent over this entire period of my life. This is a dark shadow that will be hanging over me forever, unless the internet is nuked.

don't worry, they've gone public so they're probably gonna start making people pay to hold on to their old messages to save money

>>105824802 (OP)
Pretty sure when you delete the account the messages will just say "deleted user" or some shit. Whether or not Discord keeps info on who said deleted user was in another story.
There's a script that will go and delete these messages for you, though apparently it takes a while, but, just like before, whether or not Discord still keeps the data is another question.

>>105824821
1. Despite the anonymization, your user ID remains the same, and anyone who had you as a friend previously can pull up your messages even after your account is closed.
2. You cannot delete discord messages from channels and servers you are no longer in or have access to, so orphan messages are there forever.

>>105824802 (OP)
What about stop worrying about how other people perceive you, and accepting your true self who doesn't conform to 4chan current culture?

>>105824851
I have other personalities assigned to different friend groups/social spaces, other than just "4chan" and "discord cringe".

>>105824836
Is it only those who you friended or can any random user see who the previous "deleted user"'s account name was?
Sorry I meant you use the script before closing the account. Obviously too late after you do.

>>105824859
Then it's time for you to stop pretending to be who you aren't in many different social spaces

>>105824862
>Is it only those who you friended or can any random user see who the previous "deleted user"'s account name was?
Anyone who wrote down your user ID before you closed your account can associate your messages with you even after anonymization. But because private messages threads are tied to your user ID (despite the display name changing to "deleted user"), if you've ever doxxed yourself in a direct message by mentioning, say, your steam username, anyone with access to the messages can retroactively infer your identity and correlate it with all your other messages. In other words discord's anonymization is insufficient and hasn't ever worked.

>>105824870
Okay but the messages include years and years of super gay online friendship drama, online relationships, and other private stuff.
>inb4 "just don't have private relationships bro"

>but the messages include years and years of super gay online friendship drama, online relationships, and other private stuff
And? If you are afraid that your true and vulnerable self is gonna ruin your constructed facets, it's time for you to act more truthfully to yourself

>>105824876
RIP you. You better hope they make people pay to keep older messages, especially servers, like the other anon said.

anon... you have multiple personality disorder... im sorry i had to be the one to tell you this. but you're a very sick bwoi, anony... it ok tho, if you go to bed and say 'im a good bwoi 10 times' it will go away.

Stop replying to my thread this way or else I'm going to have sex with you

I wonder how much data all discord messages would be. Excluding attachments only, formatted as channelid:messageid:text
My guess is hundreds of terabytes

>>105824802 (OP)
Would they even actually delete your messages if you asked them to? According to the GDPR they probably should, but whether they will actually do it is another story. They will probably claim that deleting your account and leaving the messages is enough, and until one of the data protection agencies in the EU starts pressuring them they probably won't bother doing anything about it.

>>105825435
It was documented about a year and a half ago that if you send them a txt file with a list of message IDs with a GDPR deletion request, they will do it.
Unfortunately this process went viral and people created scripts and message templates, so they started cracking down on it and changed the required format from .txt to .csv, and started denying requests arbitrarily
It might not work anymore

loooool

>>105825453
I mean a data breach that includes messages

I bet all the worlds intelligence agencies have a data sheet of us that looks like:

online aliases: anony
sexual fetishes: submission, clown porn
vulnerabilities: subject fears they will be alone forever so threaten to abandon them if they dont do what we say

If you committed cringe in your life you need to live with the consequences.

relax bro nobody will ever care about your gay discord messages

>>105825890
I have multiple stalkers doe
There are people who enter my email into data breaches to find my passwords and past accounts, and harass my family. So the premise of your post is simply incorrect, there are people who would happily scour all 750,000 messages to find personal information

>>105826067

you're a dumb schizo and nobody cares

Discord is proprietary spyware. If you've written 750,000 Discord messages you're an annoying niggerfaggot of the highest caliber and deserve zero privacy.

Propose a viable alternative that other people in your social life will actually use
Tip: you can't

>>can't gpdr because I closed my account years ago and can no longer prove the account is mine
GDPR does not cover your messages, the requirement is anonymization, they are not required to delete them even if you submit a request

>>105827866
It's documented that if you message Disocrd support with a csv-formatted list of message IDs and cite GDPR, they will delete them the messages (or if you argue with them enough, they will do it)
That's what I meant when I said that, I don't care how the law actually works

>>105827910
That's nice of them actually since it's not technically required

Did anyone confirm if the messages you delete yourself on client side are still included in the data package?

>>105828026
They aren't. I started running a message deletion script on a few important channels after requesting my data package (since I expected it to include everything from the date I submitted the request) but the data package was actually missing a chunk of the messages that I had started deleting

>>can't gpdr because I closed my account years ago and can no longer prove the account is mine
This is why I don't delete discord accounts. There's people in my DMs who left up photos with sensitive information that they can never delete because they've deleted their account.

>>105828335
Actual schizophrenia, take your medication

>>105827866
That remains to be verified. I am pretty sure that if they can delete it they have to delete it accordingly to the law.

Discord has a dev blog, you can read about it here

Uploaded files are managed by cloudflareCDN, so I don't know about that

>>105829177
This doesn't contain any information about the size of the database, just their maximum capacity (9*72 Tb)
But it sounds like it's in the range of hundreds of terabytes like I predicted

>>105824802 (OP)
>This is a dark shadow that will be hanging over me forever,
Just completely reidentify yourself. New account, new email, etc etc.

protip: nothing is ever deleted. ever.

>>105828868
no

>>105824802 (OP)
there's undiscord. I delete my messages once a month so if I'm ever banned for whatever most people could track/snoop through is up to a month. Also it's a pain in the ass when theres 5 gorillion messages to go through so doing this periodically solves that issue

Are you saying I should go outside because I don't use discord anymore, or are you suggesting I go back to discord? I'm confused

>>105830541
this is honestly a braindead way to think, because there is such thing as communication software that uses end-to-end encryption, and data retention policies do exist
