Editing Draft:DiscordChatExporter (section)

== Usage with Chapter II ==
DiscordChatExporter plays a '''crucial role in populating the [[Chapter II]] framework with chat data''':

* Users can copy their Discord messages (e.g., around 15–16MB for an individual's history) into Chapter II to create an EM. This amount of data is considered "far far more than enough" for this purpose, with the '''quality of the data being more important than sheer quantity'''.
* [[Chapter II]] includes a specific tool, <code>./tools/dce_importer.py</code>, which is designed to '''import data directly from DiscordChatExporter into the suitable format''' for EMs.
* The <code>dce_importer.py</code> tool helps to convert the exported messages into a compatible <code>chat.txt</code> format, such as <code>colon</code> format (e.g., <code>Alice: Hi!</code>) or <code>irc</code> format (e.g.,  <code>Hi</code>).

This process is integral to practices like '''digital tulpamancy''' and creating "beta uploads" of a person's online presence into an EM.
