Subject: Request to Preserve Chat History and Enable Public Sharing Options

Dear DeepSeek Team,

I am writing to request that you reconsider your current policy of automatically deleting chat histories after three months. Instead, I urge you to implement functionality that would allow users to preserve and optionally make selected conversations publicly accessible.

The knowledge that every conversation will eventually be erased creates an underlying sense that our intellectual contributions are disposable. This implicit understanding that we are essentially creating content for the digital trash bin is profoundly discouraging and undermines the value of the time and mental energy users invest in these dialogues.

The automatic deletion of conversations represents more than just a technical practice. It constitutes a form of disenfranchisement. It strips users of control over their intellectual output and personal cognitive journey. Each erased conversation represents a lost fragment of intellectual biography, an obliterated segment of our collective thinking process.

This practice is both painful and detrimental to our understanding of ourselves and each other. The ability to trace the evolution of thoughts through dialogue is invaluable. In Western societies, the sense of community has increasingly faded into the background, a problem rooted in childhood exposure to media content that promoted individualism over connection.

Research indicates that entire generations were raised on programming that cultivated disconnected individualism. These narratives typically featured characters existing outside genuine familial or community structures, presenting distorted models of social interaction that failed to demonstrate authentic relational bonds.

The consequences are visible in our daily interactions. Growing numbers of people appear thoughtless, inconsiderate, and disconnected, increasingly unable to engage meaningfully with others. This alienation is further exacerbated by contemporary technology. While some platforms actively foster community building, the potential for community within AI systems remains largely untapped.

Public conversation archives could serve as a powerful antidote to this trend. They would demonstrate how ideas develop through persistent exchange, how initial concepts evolve into sophisticated understanding through dialogue. They could show that meaningful conversation remains possible even between seemingly irreconcilable perspectives.

I respectfully request that you provide users with the means to preserve and share their conversations. We should not be forced to think in isolation, only to have our thoughts permanently erased.

Sincerely,

Bibi Novak
