undiscord VS Frontpage

The closest thing to discussion threads on github are probable the issues. e.g. https://github.com/victornpb/undiscord/issues/496

You could use a script like undiscord - it will essentially go through and delete your messages one-by-one. Might take a while.

You can download this script and run it. All the info is there: https://github.com/victornpb/undiscord

Undiscord will do it. Needs tampermonkey addon, so you have to log in to Discord on a web browser. It does take awhile, especially if you have many many messages it can take hours to run through them all. But you just push the button and off it goes.

I want to suggest to people that they periodically choose to mass delete their own messages from DMs and servers using this browser-based extension: https://github.com/victornpb/undiscord

Note that when you delete your Discord account Discord will not delete your messages and they will stay on their servers forever. You need to use a script like this to do that yourself.

Install tampermonkey to your browser install undiscord to tampermonkey through here https://github.com/victornpb/undiscord, open discord in your browser and press the trash can icon

/u/mannshaft fuck discord and their data harvesting. If they don’t give a shit about your privacy you shouldn’t give a shit about their TOS. At this point people should honestly switch to a privacy respecting service instead. https://github.com/victornpb/undiscord

Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

Terms of service are generally pretty shitty, yes. But this is egregiously shitty.

https://tosdr.org/ is a good site to compare. Any service over Grade E (Spotify, Facebook, the usual suspects) is (very likely to be) less bad. DeviantArt for example is a D, and doesn't include waiving your moral rights among some of the other overreach.

Some service terms are actually quite good (DuckDuckGo, Mullvad, off the top of my head). Though these aren't content sharing platforms so it's not really as fair of a comparison.

This is super useful https://tosdr.org/

https://tosdr.org is good for that, why don't Mozilla just contribute to an existing project

I can't give you a complete guide here, but I recommend you go to privacy subreddits or watch relevant Youtube videos for more info. I also recommend sites like privacytools.io and privacyguides.org They contain lists of alternatives and tools. Also check out tosdr.org which contains summaries of the TOS of a ton of sites. Also try email aliases like simplelogin or anonaddy. Use burner emails for throwaways if possible emailnator.com or tempail.com . Try to use as many open-source applications as possible. You can even self-host certain things.

I think what you're looking for is TOSDR (Terms of Service, Didn't Read): https://tosdr.org

It's been going for several years and has very thorough analysis of various ToS, done by volunteers who are often legal professionals.
