So I've started using Ublock Origin on my firefox on Ubuntu, and I noticed that it showed no blocked trackers on the webapp of discord. I'm well aware of the perils of using any service that doesnt support e2ee for private messaging and i hate discord for that and being corporate, But i was wondering how bad would it be for browsing communities on it given the supposed and seemingly "lack" of trackers detected for it.

Your data already resides completely viewable to them without you knowing any better. Discord could sell off every single one of your messages without your knowledge and without using any trackers built into the app/website itself.
