Why not just use IRC?
Zoomers can't deal without their embedded images. Clicking a link to view a meme is so 1990s.
Nice domain name!
Thanks!
No media support and closing the client and you DC from the channel, not ideal for modern use cases such as being on mobile devices or a laptop on a train and your connection drops while you go through a tunnel
Good points. I've always gotten around the terminal issue by using irssi + screen
We've had IRC bouncers since at least psybnc in the 90s...
And how many average users would know about those or bother to either set one up or go sign up on one
Discord is a modern platform a lot of people enjoy using. IRC isn't.
