A lot of people don't seem to realize that Discord has a variety of features, and each feature can be more or less useful for different types of communities. There's almost no platform that has all of them so you have to zoom out and look at more of the general purpose. The Discord "servers" I've used NEVER used anything but text chat.

    I understand that but even the text chat is a different experience than what Discourse offers. Even people who only used Discord for text chat and want a replacement for that would be better on IRC.

    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.
