Generative AI, namely LLMs, image and video diffusion models and especially the companies that make them plague the tech industry.

We got tired, so we decided to take things into our own hands and curate a list of projects that aren’t complicit in the devaluing of labor by these companies.

Unlike projects that came before us, we want to highlight software that values the labor that goes into creating and not call out projects that use LLMs or Image/Video Diffusion models.

It merely helps you navigate your data package from Discord and craft data deletion requests to send to their privacy team. In cases where their privacy team’s policies prohibit deletion, it guides you through automating the remaining tasks yourself.

How this works Discord acts in malicious compliance with the GDPR. You are not allowed to delete your DMs through their support flow, since you can always regain access to a DM, technically speaking, since you are always a member of the DM channel on their backend.

For servers and group DMs you no longer have access to, however, Discord will comply with deletion requests. This tool helps you identify those messages and craft deletion requests for their privacy team.

For 1:1 DMs, Discord will not delete them through the privacy request process. In that case, the risky flow guides you through automating the deletion yourself via browser extensions.

More relevant than ever.
