title pretty much says it. my friend told me to stop using because he thinks its dangerous because discord will ban me for using the redact app. i have been using the app for almost 6 months now and never had an issue but he swears its dangerous, he said discord has some kind of ip address tracking …

Hey there, Nope - Discord won’t ‘know’ if you use Redact.dev to delete stuff. They have rate limits (restrictions on the amount of actions you can take in a period of time) - but Redact respects these limits. Thousands of people have used Redact for Discord and had no issues :slight_smile: When y…
