Tbh I have not really encountered people saying they use Discord for privacy reasons, usually it’s people complaining about the privacy implications of discord
WhatsApp, Signal, & some others use the same open standardization end-to-end encryption. It’s the bare minimum bar for acceptable (but most of these apps require a primary Android/iOS device to hold the key which plays right into that duopoly as well as making smart phones a requirement rather than optional).
Discord has no e2ee, many rooms require phone numbers, the service is proprietary, they have trackers, they send cease & desists to projects wanting to be alternate clients. These are not the hallmarks for privacy or security.
Why does it call XMPP “Chat Standard”?
Not entirely, there is also Discord

I don’t think it’s that meaning of “private” that’s meant here. It’s private as in personal, rather than an organization
Ahh, i see what you mean. My bad haha
