@annika Also IRC: No protocol-level security of any kind (by default, hack it on yourself if you care), no persistent message log unless you use a bouncer (at least logs are decentralized, that's a cool idea), no hypermedia support of any kind, no search (but despite everyone complaining about Info being decentralized on Discord people have no issue asking others to join IRC to get basic info), need a bot (Nickserv) just to have basic account functionality and not get impersonated...

What's the take here? "It's good when things never change"?

Discord is shit for a million reasons but this is the most apples to oranges comparison imaginable I don't get why so many people demand that messaging in 2024 follow the standard of *IRC*
