One reason more to stay away from Discord, which can keep your data and metadata forever.

Yeah, so instead your create accounts and have your email and potentially password stored in plaintext on some random guys server which they won't keep updated anyway so all your shit will get leaked anyway

Furthermore, not only it's closed source but you are giving all your conversations and metadata to a private company.

It is a free data host[ag]ing platform run for profit.

Your data is safe and accessible as long as the economic incentives are aligned with that.
