Data mining? Selling info? Weak security? I've seen Discord mentioned a lot but know nothing about it. Gracias!

You can use discord in your web browser with some privacy addons like fingerprint and user gent spoofing to help restrict how much gets leaked to discord. If you install it as an app that runs in background you better believe they're collecting more data and metrics.
