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.

Just the usual stuff, really. Not really worth raising alarms for, but a quick search didn't yield any instructions on how to do this so I just made the post myself.

If you want an alternative you can use Element for Matrix.

I think you missed the part about forced arbitration (if you're a US Resident).

And the most important part:

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs.
