Yes. Even though this one wasn't a discord breach, it's bound to happen sooner or later. But your data is probably already being sold, even without a breach, as the founder of discord is known to (illigally iirc) sell customer data, before he even founded discord.
Looks, like I might be wrong. I thought I remembered it from this article https://cadence.moe/blog/2020-06-06-why-you-shouldnt-trust-discord#business-model
but, while it says, that your data will probably be sold, it seems like the second part I remembered came from somewhere else, so might not be reputable. Maybe I'll later do some more research, but it took me a while already to find this blogpost again, since it's been a while, since I've read it.

Platforms that store everything in one central server pose a risk to the security and privacy of user data.

You got a source on that claim? Pretty serious if true
