You can change your number

Can you request deletion of these? I've never really thought about that before (I don't use discord that much anyway other than hoping on some channels occasionally to help beginners to rust and c++. I guess I'm not giving away too much there :)

Are you really going to request that deletion after every single sensitive conversation? That seems dumb. Also, are those deletions tracked? Like, do they say User A requested their conversation with User B and User C be deleted so that Mr Fed can still see that A B and C had that conversation?

There's just so so many places to get tripped up by keeping data rather than just routing bits and never storing them.

I was thinking more like "Hey discord, please delete all my old data from your databases, everything" not doing it after every "sensitive" conversation.

Just delete them manually then.
