undiscord VS sydent

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

GitHub Discussions can also be a great place for support as long as these are regularly monitored. Another option along the same lines is Discourse and the Open Source Matrix which is used by quite a few Open Source and community-based projects.

Tangential: the article notes that Telegram is an “encrypted messaging app”. While this is technically true, it's worth keeping in mind that it's not end-to-end encrypted, so it's less secure in that regard than, say, Signal or even WhatsApp. Telegram does have opt-in end-to-end encrypted one-on-one chats, but those are very inconvenient to use.

For a properly encrypted chat app, including group chats (opt-in), try Matrix instead: https://matrix.org/

I'd love something like the Matrix [0] data model (JSON messages aggregated in an eventually-consistent chatroom CRDT) transmitted over something like simplex for metadata resistance.

Trillian mod here. There's this new thing called Beeper, works on matrix.org. It's not as the good old times, but I'm currently using whatsapp, FB messenger, discord, telegram, signal, imessage and a few more. It's not Cerulean experience, but it's... slowly improving.

I'm trying to change my account provider from "matrix.org" to whatever Element One needs, and for the life of me I just don't understand what values I have to put where to be able to log in. I tried `element.io`, which takes me to sso.element.io but this doesn't seem like the right thing (no credentials work as I expect.
