Unfortunately, they're not doing a good job at deleting them. If you press the "Delete Account" button, all it does is anonymize your profile, and leaves all of your messages intact. One of the reasons I avoid using Discord whenever possible.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoWhy is HN acceptable then?
- byyll 4y agoHN is a public forum, not behind a pay or auth wall.
- vxNsr 4y agoJust treat it the same way, assume everything you will say on discord will become public. Problem solved.
- unlog 4y agoSorry, buy you have the wrong idea. That would be fine for public servers, but not for Private Conversations. I'ts unacceptable. edit:typo
- vel0city 4y agoPrivate conversations aren't really very private on Discord. Attachment URLs are globally visible.

- hombre_fatal 4y agoI can't think of a good reason why the presence or effectiveness of a delete button should change what you write online, even in a so-called "private conversation", or whether you use a certain platform. Delete is useful, but it shouldn't change what you're willing to send online because delete doesn't time travel and unsend the message.
- unlog 4y agoI do not consider "online", when it's a PM. A private message, should be private. There are reasons to get rid of the whole thing sometimes.
- pixelat3d 4y agoIf you are typing anything you desire to stay hidden forever into a completely unencrypted and openly data mined and brokered (read your privacy policy) cloud-based solution then I have a bridge to sell you...
- roflyear 4y agoAgreed. People like to make excuses for the poor functionality of HN. We should be able to delete our comments.

- RockRobotRock 4y agoYou need to login to your account, so how is that not an auth wall?
- maccard 4y agoYou don't need to be logged in to view other people's comments though
- RockRobotRock 4y agothat's true
- anticensor 4y agoIf you individually delete messages, then yes, they are actually deleted.
- coldblues 4y agoThe only effective way to delete messages individually is by using automation software, which can get your account banned or locked.
