    Not everyone has a large data plan. I am very aware of how much messaging taxes my data plan: the entirety of my data is already used by it.

        I’m really not. 75% of my data this month has been used by Signal and Discord.

            Many people do use Discord as a messaging app. I am really only using it for private messages when I am on data.

            I only have two Signal contacts, and no group chats. Video is set to download only on WiFi, but I do need to be able to see images.

                You say that as if I don’t already know it. But what am I supposed to do, abandon every friend who prefers it?

                    nobody thinks discord is e2ee. “private messages” usually means the same thing as “direct messages” – messages between a defined set of people as opposed to an open group. You know and understand this term, you’re just being a dick because you think that’s an effective way to convince people to stop using proprietary software without basic features like e2ee. You’re wrong.
