It's weird that they're adding E2EE on voice but not in private text DMs, which is probably everybody's biggest concern when it comes to security on Discord. Better than nothing I guess.

In servers I can see why but yeah not sure about dms

~~They sell your dms for money, which makes them money. They don’t make money through spying on your calls. I’ll let you figure this one out.~~

Edit: no evidence

Another day, another request for a source on Discord selling your data.

They sell your dms for money

This is a very large claim. Do you have a source?

~~Here is the article were they adjusted the privacy policy to allow AI training. Personally I think this is enough evidence to think they train their AI on messages.~~

Your changed claim is still incorrect, and your own article contradicts it. The article contains an update, including a statement from discord

The recently-announced AI features use OpenAI technology. That said, OpenAI may not use Discord user data to train its general models.

On top of that, it's stated in the article that the AI features are for servers, not dms

Yeah, I think in my head I mixed up this article with a unrelated one.
