HN is a public forum, not behind a pay or auth wall.

  Just treat it the same way, assume everything you will say on discord will become public. Problem solved.

    Sorry, buy you have the wrong idea. That would be fine for public servers, but not for Private Conversations. I'ts unacceptable. edit:typo

      Private conversations aren't really very private on Discord. Attachment URLs are globally visible.

      I 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.

        I 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.

          If 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...

    Agreed. People like to make excuses for the poor functionality of HN. We should be able to delete our comments.

  You need to login to your account, so how is that not an auth wall?

    You don't need to be logged in to view other people's comments though
