Discord's main problems:

  • Not FOSS / Privacy respectful
  • Hard/Impossible to index/search for data and organize tech support

I'd say it's worse than only that. The data they track on you is on level with TikTok. And Tencent (aka the chinese government) owns a large stake, which probably gives them access to much of this data.

I'd take good old Skype over Discord any day

Come on. That’s not even close to the amount of data that TikTok collects. TikTok needs to know how long you spend on EVERY video so it can recommend more like that. TikTok records EVERY interaction and time associated.
