This email arrived with impeccable timing.
"Don't worry" you say?
I'm not worried, I'm absolutely ELATED that my account is scheduled to be deleted. Thank you, bye #Discord !

@_elena I had the same emotion when I formally deleted my Apple account. I had it for nearly two decades.
@_elena I'm going to verify it with generated photo because I sure as hell am not sending them my real ID, especially given they had a breach losing user private data just months ago. But I only really have Discord because some treat it as their webpage or main message board.
@_elena i wish Xitter would do that to my account since they kicked me off for saying naughty things about the 🍊💩two years ago.
@_elena the only appropriate reaction to a message like that.
@_elena kinda funny they drop that bomb yesterday and earlier spammed with 2-week long free nitro offer...
@_elena Tuta recently deleted my account as well because I could not login into it for 6 months 😊 (it is blocked in my country)
@_elena trying to get away from discord and thought to drag a few instances with me - where can I point them to? Cant find any federated alternatives to discord out there(
Something like Mattermost but federated, ideally, so transition is smoother and possibly even considered))
Is it worth an email just to say you want the data they hold on you deleted?

"Hey,
We have received a (dare we say, terrifying) request to permanently delete your account. Your account has been deactivated and will be permanently deleted after 14 days."
@_elena I intend to delete my account when the age verification goes live as a way of sending a message to them. I always found Discord too complex. For example, I’d get a push notification when someone made a post, so I’d tap on the notification thinking it would take me to the post but instead it just took me to the server and forced me to hunt for the post. I’ve turned off all notifications. I can’t remember when I last checked any servers I’m a member of.
@_elena Hooray! I like it when big tech says they'll delete my accounts. It saves me the trouble of going through their dark patterns of trying to cancel it on my own. (That said, telling big tech to stuff it is most satisfying when it works. :))
@_elena the very same happened me just yesterday.

@_elena best messages...
Problems which are solving itself! Great!
@_elena thank you. 
I actually could use VPN and log in but I just didn’t have a reason to even check Tuta mail. I used Tuta to create my work account on GitHub and not for active communication.
