So the problem with Discord is that following GDPR would just make for a really crappy user experience. Let's say you're a community moderator, and you type out the rules for the community. Well... now, unless someone wants to re-do everything you did, those rules will forever say, "YourName said..." and if someone leaves a server, and asks for their content to be removed... it would make for a big mess for users and moderators, "See the pinned posts!" "Uh, what pinned posts?" Also, quotes and replies of your messages... do those have to be removed? Someone responds to your message, and quotes, "> YourName said..." before their response. And along the same logic... there are a lot of bots that automatically track all the updates to messages, so that people can't say something nasty, and edit it and say, "No, I didn't say anything nasty!" The bots see all... and normally they record it in a public channel for the admins, where the bot just says, "YourName edited their post from X, to Y!" Do all those have to be removed? Not to mention emoji, and sponsorship, and the list of "joined the server" / "YourName kicked SomePunk because..." where the admin leaves a note outlining why they booted someone. Would all that have to be expunged upon request? Dunno man, I'm all for GDPR, but I think Discord is sort of like Hacker News... like public forums shouldn't have to remove content someone put up. Just find a way to change ownership or change YourName to [DeletedUser123] would be fine... still sucks from a UX perspective I think, and all the messages quoting you, and bots recording your changes... those are still there. Can't really un-pee in the pool. But you know that using Discord. Edit... I confused GDPR with CCPA for "request to export" / "request to delete" -- sorry. Meh, I'll leave this up because I'm an idiot, and I still think Discord / "public" places should be except from requests to delete data.
