That’s good news. Internet archiving is an important endeavor because you never know when they‘ll pull the plug. Now it‘s a little more secured and probably far more useful than in Discord‘s hands alone.

Not for messages that are supposed to be private lol. Let me just make a copy of all texts you’ve sent over the last decade, for “archiving”.

This says it was done via the API so they wouldn’t be private messages.

Texts are sent in plain-text and I wouldn’t recommend discussing anything you’d like to keep private via text.

If you think messages you post anywhere on the internet are private, you’re in for a bad time.
