Fixing Discord’s Biggest Privacy Flaw with a Loophole…

Want to delete all your messages in Discord? Well Discord says no, but I say yes.

Why would you want to delete your discord messages? Well Discord doesn't delete your messages when you delete your account. So if you are trying to get away from a bad situation, your messages will still stay on every server you've been in. This allows creeps or any bad actor to go through your messages and determine other ways to contact you.

However, it turns out while I've been talking about Discord stuff and weird servers, privacy nerds (i love you guys 💖) have been figuring out how to delete all their messages on Discord. And it requires a little loophole :)
