    Exports Discord chat logs to a file

  • Discord to me is like a burning library when it comes to archiving. You can try to save somethings but servers are disappearing all the time. There's discord chat exporter to archive discords, you can have an option to save attachments/images that you have to toggle on otherwise it won't. You could set it up so you could just use your account (which is against tos) or make a bot which does need to be invited to the server in question. So there is a way to download discords, but it risks getting you banned from discord. Note that being able to open the resulting html file relies on your computer, as some exports I've done are BIG and my computer being unable to load the file and read it (and no, my computer is not bad).
