I don't feel it's misrepresentative because I've gone 2-3 year spans without logging into plenty of services, and I expected my data to be there when I returned. I've had companies email me saying "log in or we'll delete your inactive account". That's a compromise I can accept. This article doesn't specify whether Discord does this. I'm also curious whether that practice is required under the GDPR, which the article doesn't specify either.
