This is a selling point of Discord. The ability to have a conversation without "researchers" being able to search for it for decades.


For many of us, Discord’s model is an anti-pattern.

Try searching for something when you don’t recall where you said it (dc server or DM)


Search the .CSVs yourself?


Doesn't Discord keep the data forever? And potentially sell it to "researchers"?


Discord no doubt keeps every conversation ever typed on their servers. they might toss out something huge like a movie file but text compresses -very- well.
