Steps

1: Use browser Addon uBlock Origin or other extension for picking and disabling HTML such as Tampermonkey etc.

Open Discord in Browser
Pick and make filter against elements:

discord.com##.scrollerBase__65223.thin__62e51.content_b28aab
discord.com##.rootWithShadow_d20cd6.fullscreenOnMobile__05784.small_f8e677.root_a28985
discord.com##.withLayer__29ace.backdrop__1a911

NOTE: This will also bug the preview for files when you click them, but it's still usable.

For those of you who wish to backup Discord posts and conversations, you have a few choices.

If you are very tech-savvy you can transfer everything over to a Matrix Self-Host, then take it offline so that it functions as a storage medium.
You can use several open source tools such as Tyrrrz's discord chat exporter

Be warned: leaking your Discord User Authentication Token could be potentially harmful.

Was this only for US folks or for EU too?

You guys have a functional legal system over there so no need to worry

I love the cyberpunk future where even courts are privatized.

As an American, I like the general idea of private courts provided:

both parties consent to the court used
any decisions can be appealed to a public court
private judges must be actively practicing (passed the bar) with a public record
if the dispute is between a customer and the company, the company shoppers any costs, unless a public judge rules otherwise if the customer appeals

Binding arbitration agreements suck though, and I think they are or should be unconstitutional.

Also when it comes to choosing an arbitrator, we should be able to choose an unbiased arbitrator, rather than the one that is being paid by the company we have a dispute with.

There's a lawyer that goes into detail on this from time to time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0iXFnGMD48&t=702s

Exactly. I'm 100% against binding arbitration, but I think arbitration as an option is probably something consumers want, assuming it has some checks to help prevent companies from abusing customers.
