"it seems like they are not any more privacy averse than any other messaging service, given that they don't claim to offer any more privacy than any other service."
Pro tip, using sweeping words like "any" will almost always make you wrong.
Nearly every popular messaging service these days offers end-to-end encryption. I have no idea what you're talking about when you say they "are not any more privacy averse than any other messaging service"
When you're worse off, privacy-wise than a Facebook owned messenger, you're not doing too hot.
I found a good write up of popular and e2e messengers for you to check out.

- actually_a_dog 5y agoI'm not claiming Discord is the most privacy-focused messenger out there by any means. That's what you seem to be arguing. I'm arguing that they have no particular aversion to user privacy (i.e. they are not particularly "privacy averse"). Literally nothing you've said constitutes a counterargument against that. Again, if you want to revise your claim to say that they're not particularly privacy-focused, then, sure, I agree with that. But, to argue that they're privacy averse (meaning they hate user privacy and don't want anybody to have it), I don't see it, and it's not been proven here. Pro tip: try arguing the point you're actually trying to make.
- imwillofficial 5y agoScanning user content for hate speech demonstrates feature that could not be performed with e2e. So one of their advertised selling points is privacy violating. Also they don't have privacy features that many of their competitors do. Those two data points seem to show privacy aversion to me.
