Someone spreading FUD?
Everything with Discord feels like a super mature well develoved product.

The technology is there to solve this. End to end encryption solves this problem and lets the devs wash their hands off the privacy concerns.
Discord's specifics aside, it blows my mind that people use any off-site SAAS for internal communications, including Slack. The database set contains so much critical information, including infrastructure passwords, private SSL and SSH certs, etc. Employees will send anything and everything over the company's chat client. Even if you trust the company's employees and general security, the fact remains that your uploaded attachments typically have a public URL not requiring authentication to download.
