It's completely impossible to have used Python 2 and not having felt miserable under a pile of UnicodeDecodeErrors.

There is no way to massively delete your past messages. In addition to that:

1. If you close a private message window and are not friends with the person or share a server with them, there is no way to open it again, so you've lost access to that chat history and can't delete your messages from there.

2. If you get banned from a server, you lose access to that server's history and can't delete your messages from it.

3. If you delete your account, your messages are not deleted and stay in all private conversations and servers forever.

Their data management is simply terrible. Personally, I would've deleted my account already, but I don't feel comfortable knowing I can't delete my past messages and that they may add that option later.

I'm sure they don't. You can pay to use an animated gif as your avatar and some other useless gimmicks, and as you can imagine, the % of users who pay is abysmal.

The queen does nothing. She's just there for appearances.

That's handled by the system on both Android and iOS. I remain unconvinced.

>I thought the Internet would just make the next attempt that much faster to die out, but apparently I was wrong!

That's how politics work, it's a pendulum. It has swung too far to liberalism, we're almost at Weimar republic now. Now it's time for the pendulum to swing back. If anything, the Internet is going to accelerate it.

Wow, 1994. These things are timeless.
