   Learned today that Discord doesn't allow you to just delete a DM conversation. You can only close it.

   You have to delete every individual message inside for them to be gone. Insane.

     (Closing it only hides it from your list, it appears again any time you chat to that other person...)

     @gamingonlinux what are the chances that only removes them from view, and doesn't delete them either

     @gamingonlinux It's not a bug, it's a feature. Reading Discord's privacy policy will explain it: they want all your data and they want to keep that data, because you are the product being sold.

     So if you're a company (Discord) with an atrocious privacy policy and a history of leaking government documents provided by users for ID, you're obviously going to exploit every bit of data you can for profit, that's #discord's business model, so of course data is going to be hard for the user to delete.
