Sometimes you need to accept using more than one piece of software. And IRC can have persistent chat history.

That's why IRC isn't and never will be a replacement for Discord. Most people don't care to accept comprimises and friction and people developing the alternatives can not impose compromises on their users and expect general market adoption.

I really wish there was some real alternative that actually worked like lemmy communities for example where you wouldn't need to self host but be able to use a server someone else made available to be able to create a community there. And search engine indexing, that would be a must imo.
