So some algorithm somewhere will eventually try to parse five years of shitposts and memes between me and my friends and try to figure out what it can advertise to me based on it, I can't say I'm even mad

Ah, the old 'I don't need privacy because I have nothing to hide' fallacy.
I have nothing to hide because I recognize the intentions and limitations of different platforms. Discord is a gaming chat platform and I post and act accordingly there. I don't understand why I should be entitled to privacy on a free chat platform hosted with someone else's money.
This is fine. But you are talking about Discord as a replacement for Signal, in a thread about Signal and it's privacy model.
