I'm trying to preserve a very long RPG play-by-post game written on a discord server. It's about 1.5 million words of text. All the other posts I've seen asking about preserving things from discord are concerned with saving photos/attachments or reactions, but I want literally just the text people have written and to specifically exclude things like usernames, dates, and reactions so that it reads like a book. It seems like there should be an easy way to have a program grab just the text and export it to a text file, but I haven't found anything.
Want to keep: The responses people write, formatting if possible (e.g. italics)
Don't want to keep: Usernames, dates, reactions, images, attachments
Any suggestions? I can get admin access to the server as well if that affects what can be done.
