People use it for things like planning terrorism, child enticement, and sharing CSAM. Discord probably wants to ban those people, and maybe aid in their prosecution.

Of course if you're sharing something that's actually private, Discord is a poor choice. So is email or DMs on Lemmy where the server admin could read the content.
