      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.

                  You’re trying to “correct” the correct usage of vernacular English because you feel like reinventing the language to suit your personal idea of what it should be. English is bigger than you. The phrase “private messaging” has meaning, and it’s not up to you to decide what that meaning is.
