I understand that but even the text chat is a different experience than what Discourse offers. Even people who only used Discord for text chat and want a replacement for that would be better on IRC.
I honestly think the vast majority of people on Discord don’t know what IRC is, and therefore don’t have an opinion of it. However, I didn’t mean to suggest IRC as the best alternative anyway.

It’s not the text chat they’re referring to. An annoying amount of open so it be projects use Discord as a replacement for forums specifically.
I’m aware but I don’t think this was the issue Ulrich was speaking of. If they were, I don’t think it was well conveyed.
IRC isn’t really a replacement either. Discord supports rich multimedia embedding and the servers preserve history (by default anyway).
Yeah, clearly everyone loves IRC, that’s why no one uses Discord /s

I haven’t used IRC since I had to “accquire” fan sub anime in the 00’s.
Okay so they know what Discord is, but they don’t know what IRC is, despite it being 20 years older. What does that tell you?
I’m currently logged in to IRC and haven’t opened discord in weeks.
LOL I can’t wait to hear what you think that means.
