It merely helps you navigate your data package from Discord and craft data deletion requests to send to their privacy team. In cases where their privacy team’s policies prohibit deletion, it guides you through automating the remaining tasks yourself.

How this works Discord acts in malicious compliance with the GDPR. You are not allowed to delete your DMs through their support flow, since you can always regain access to a DM, technically speaking, since you are always a member of the DM channel on their backend.

For servers and group DMs you no longer have access to, however, Discord will comply with deletion requests. This tool helps you identify those messages and craft deletion requests for their privacy team.

For 1:1 DMs, Discord will not delete them through the privacy request process. In that case, the risky flow guides you through automating the deletion yourself via browser extensions.

More relevant than ever.

I used Discrub to delete all of my messages from certain groups and 1:1 DM’s before leaving them. Worked great, not the fastest thing but it works. Also has Firefox extension.

There is also an open source tool that can be used. It’s linked in a No Text To Speech YouTube video
