Make sure you use an open source tool to download any important conversation or channel history.

You'll have to use the browser version of Discord to grab your unique Token since they've disabled the inspector console on the application and also removed the ability to turn it back on in the ini file. Don't ever share it with anybody, either.

How come we need to dl the history? Are they deleting old messages with this update?

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 11 points 1 year ago

If you delete your account then you won't have access to your chat history. Because the account will be gone. The account tied to all of the messages. And with which you accessed servers. Because you can't log in to it. Because it's gone. Because you deleted it.
