Yeah, clearly everyone loves IRC, that's why no one uses Discord /s
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.
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?
