Subject: [PATCH] fix(discord): handle voice messages with empty content

Discord voice messages have empty `content` with the audio in attachments.
The nullish coalescing operator (`??`) doesn't fall through on empty strings,
so voice messages were being dropped as 'empty content'.

Changed to logical OR (`||`) so empty string falls through to media placeholder.
