I’ve always meant to do this, but after hearing about the AI thing I want to get it done. Is there no free solution? I have too much history to clear manually.

      I’m not sure if just deleting/GDPR an account is enough to get all of their comments removed.

        It’s supposed to.

        A collection of personal opinions are enough to create a personal profile, and are thus protected by GDPR for EU citizens who can withdraw consent for them to be used.

        It is also not actually legal for them to change the usage of your protected data before informing you in a clear and concise language, but that part hasn’t been thoroughly litigated yet.

          Yep, yet discord doesn’t delete messages nor does reddit with comments, they just “anonymise” it, US companies just doesn’t care. Those dumbasses

            Irreversibly anonymizing data would no longer make it personal data according to the current GDPR regulations
