Discord explicitly confirms in its privacy policy[1] that it collects the following information:

IP Address
Device UUID
User's e-mail address
All text messages
All images
All VOIP data (voice chat)
Open rates for e-mail sent by Discord

Discord does not explicitly confirm that it collects this information, but still collects it by default:

Logs of all of the other programs that are open on your computer

https://revolt.chat/ is an alternative

    Literally all of that is expected functionality, including the "process logging". As described in the article, it's to display to friends what game you're currently playing.

    None of that is some big secret, it's a logical consequence of the application's functionality. Discord makes no pretense of being some secure private platform, so you either accept that when you use it or just don't use it.
