Well aside from this: you should never have relied on Discord.
They made IRC a centralized and proprietary trap. When, not if, they decide you've done something wrong, what you can do about it is go fuck yourself. The content is gone, the community is gone, there is no second vendor.
There are still eris IRC servers.
It's just your generation never solved decentralized spam. So you convenienced yourself to hierarchical moderation.
As greeks idiomatically say: How you sleep, thus’ll wake.
Does IRC have ventrillo-style voice channels and screen sharing? Because that is what drove many many people to discord.
Part of the v3 plan is to do just that.
Mumble was designed for the these exact features in mind.
Jitsi Meet can do all the above. Jami was there second.
I am not an advocate for any. I am just explaining things.
WonderAuria fans seem to misunderstand me.😔
I have looked into those and Mumble is pure voice and no video or screen sharing and specifically doesn't want to do this for the past 5 years
Jitsi meet does not have drop-in, dropout ventrillo style channels and has Skype style calls (my info could be out of date).
IRC having those features isn't available yet and who knows when it will happen.
So it seems to me that there was still no alternative when most people on discord were looking for a group chat/voice/video app.
Don't get me wrong, I used vent, Mumble, xfire, etc.. Back in the day. But it is disingenuous from the original commenter to say that people just traded the same features for a closed system. Fuck discord though.
Matrix is also getting there.
But it is disingenuous

OK, but if someone is "just explaining things" falsely, that is misinformation lol.
TLDR?

All messages on discord are just chillin on their servers. Age verification or no age verification your privacy was already dead
Discord keeps feeling more like a platform than a chat app.
