That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

I haven't used discord for a couple of years. got an email yesterday informing me that unless I log in soon, my account will be deleted.

...oh no

I'm going to let them delete it, saves me having to

They keep your messages around if you account gets deleted. You have to use an alternative tool to delete them

Why do something yourself when someone is more than willing to do it for you!

There's no way these companies actually delete anything, ever. You can probably still get myspace pictures, and that company was before Facebook.

Deleted my reddit account only to find my comments were still there. So I'm guessing Discord messages will still be there - I wonder what happens to servers with no admin.

They just stay up, but nobody has access to the controls anymore, the admin account shows as "Deleted User". I know this, because the server my late friend hosted, is still up, even though their account got nuked couple years back.

I don't want to leave "my" server in an unalterable state but at the same time I don't want to encourage Discord use though my action (assuming I ever log in again, need to say how to contact me or say bye).
