Having complete access to your messages.

In the present, members do not have complete control over their messages.

Let's assume, a user messaged something personal in a channel of a random server and left the server. He later decides to edit/delete the message that he sent but is unable to find an invite link to the server. He spends a lot of time to finally get into the server just to find that the channel that he messaged in was made private. He has now lost control over the message forever and can do nothing about it.

To prevent this, Discord should introduce a feature that allows users to have access to every message they've sent in a previously public (now private) channel or in a server they aren't in. Members can always edit/delete their own messages but they cannot see the messages of other members if the channel is private. It helps members maintain their privacy.

Again, it's just simply about members having access to every message they've ever sent on Discord.

Well i understand that problem. but i think that users has to think before sending. and if he is wanted to leave the server he has to think by himself to delete the message.

But it is a good idea!

I guess many users will like that :)

I can understand it, but if you have proof of a "contract" via Discord to Discord (via message ID), it can be difficult. If this comes, maybe an extension of the audit log should also come, in which deleted messages are shown in detail (message content and possibly the whole series of replies, if you open it up a bit).

Having access to what you have posted is a common feature across many mainstream platforms, but sadly it's not, on Discord. For example, if you comment something on a YouTube video and the video is made private in the future, you can still view, edit or delete the comment in the comments history section of YouTube.
