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.

There's a better opt out called delete your account and uninstall lol. This won't actually do anything. Do you plan on actually taking them to court? Or how do you prove what they're doing with your data? This is just an illusion of choice.

The mere notion of refusing to agree to forced terms is soothing and gives a vindicating feeling, but yes it's clear that long term leaving the platform is the best solution.
