@Kaavik_B @devnull the issue with irc is it's reputation now is picrel. It lacks presence, message syncing, and it's only used by that one guy or a few people who either used it back in the day or insist on it. Discord channels with irc bridges have like 1-2 people on IRC who tend to also be "special" and probably schizophrenic too.
It's from a time when people used desktops and would log into 2-3 computers in different locations. IRC ops were as bad as discord mods too.

@PhenomX6 @devnull @Kaavik_B@liberdon.com I've noticed that back in the early 2010s, IRC was actually making a small comeback. It was mostly through web-based clients and I think it was mostly thanks to the rise of livestreaming as most livestream chats at the time were IRC based.
Then, Discord came along and now even FOSS projects are using it. If some video game, open source project, web comic, etc doesn't have a Discord, fans will create an unofficial one and won't even bother touching what the official community is using.
@xianc78 @devnull @Kaavik_B also java IRC and mibbit but mibbit got banned because it works via a proxy instead of natively.
