    Just in my personal experience Discord works a lot better and is far more convenient

    Your personal experience is biased as fuck because having to go through phone verification or downloading a sketchy proprietary client is in no way far more convenient than firing up irc

      As someone who’s run an irc server and dealing with fun attacks multiple times a year, the phone verification is great. It almost completely eliminates the DoS/spam problem.

      IRC was fine at the time but it’s so more of an administrative headache than Discord.
