Of course they collect content you upload. How else do you think they maintain a chat history so people can see what was said while they were offline?
I see nothing in the privacy policy that says they can sell the data. There is, however, things that allow them to share the data with 3rd parties, including bot developers. Having developed Discord bots, I can tell you that you can get pretty unrestricted access (with the server owners cooperation) until you have been added to a bunch of servers (at which point you need Discord approval to get things like message content)
Not saying this makes up for it but discord recently introduced e2ee calls. This means if you have to communicate with your discord friends securely you have to call them.
Policy doesn't count for anything. So what if they claim they won't sell data about you? They still can, and companies do.
Or they sell the entire company, like 23AndMe just did.
e2ee is not so hard that the biggest player in the game couldnt pull it off my guy. they just want that sweet sweet data.
Signal, Wire, and Jami all support group chats that are E2EE. Discord's reasons for not doing it might not be sinister, but they don't need that level of access to your content in order to provide their core service.
