Self-destructing messages/media

Problem

That's a feature that few apps have, and it would be nice to have

Proposed solution

Similar to spoilers, you can mark certain media as self-destructing Self-destructing messages can work similarly to those on Telegram as you can choose whether to set a timer, or whether the message can be viewed once or twice
  • Expires twice as fast as normal media, but not immediately, so it can be moderated by the support team
  • Cannot be downloaded by the client, remaining only in RAM
  • Channel setting to enable this type of message in discord servers (disabled by default)
  • This type of message can still be viewed by server administrators in the Activity Log tab even after it expires, if sent to a channel
  • After self-destruction, it leaves a residual message stating (this self-destructing message has self-destructed) so you can report it if necessary
