    With the whole bot that friends you and spam adds you to gc's, we really need this.

    I'm gonna submit a request so maybe discord can remove them from my account cuz its almost 5k groupchats I was added to.

    So, after 3 years, has this been even looked at?

    There is for us a temporary solution.

    Just clone the channel. Now you have an empty channel with all the settings it was previous on.
    Delete the old channel and problem solved

    Man they really need to add this in case your friends account gets hacked and you don’t want them to see any personal info

    Why it wasn't added? It's 2022, basically, every chat software has this function

    I wished a function like this as well. At least something that allows you to prune your messages older/newer than a certain date, instead of doing it manually by yourself.

    This is still relevant today. I had a hiatus with a friend and I'd like to get some baggage out of the way.

    With apps like Facebook, WhatsApp and Telegram allowing users to delete chat history with the push of a button, we should be able to do it on Discord as well

    It's been over half a decade now and this change still hasn't been considered. This is literally the only chat app that actively avoids this. They also laid off 17% of their staff and have mentioned in their recent layoff post that they've yet to become profitable. Want to become profitable? Maybe listen to your users as well as adding features that could help reduce upkeep costs.

    It's actually ridiculous how long this feature has been requested. Can we get an answer about why this is technically difficult to implement?

    Discord has absolutely gone downhill in the past few years. From deceptive marketing strategies around pushing nitro and making it easy to impulse-purchase gifts and nitro, to flashy images and visually manipulative strategies when purchasing  (the same strategies used by the gambling/slot machine industries). 

    Not to mention devs literally arguing with people and gaslighting them over how unintuitive the phone discord app used to be (insisting that it's not unintuitive). 

    Listen to your customer base or risk being replaced as the go-to messaging app in the coming years.

    I have to agree to this. This especially pertains to DMs with a deleted account, it basically means that NO ONE can delete something that can potentially be dangerous when it comes to privacy (and unfortunately Discord Support has to handle so many requests they may never get to yours and if they do, spend minimal time on each request- so giving power to the user would be more efficient)

    I agree.
