Why use shitty, old IRC when new, fast, Discord exists?

What's with all of the discord threads lately?

*sips detergent*

i know this is just a shill thread but
>fast
Discord takes over 5 seconds to open, my IRC client less than one

I don't want to support zoophilia and pedophiles

I got a prominent Discord server banned for lulz ama

Why not both?
I use matrix, which has gateways to multiple communication services, including IRC.

Literally on every platform and especially ones shilled here

>Lmao kys oldie and upgrade.

I hate Discord. I only use it because fuckers say IRC is too hard to use. I'd be open to using Mumble, or even fucking Vent if people were willing to move over to it.

tfw never left vent

The Ralph Retort's Killstream chat

Wasn't too hard literally just emailed them with cherrypicked screenshots and IDs and got the whole thing nuked

So does IRC. What's your point?

move over for new things already gramps

>autistically caring about 29 KB difference
neck yourself

you're also probably the type of person that complains that modern websites are 30mb on the first visit.
also shame on 4channel for not doing this by default.

why? because the fags over at discord admitted themselves that they datamine! Its a private server, not peer to peer, meaning that literally anybody could listen to what you're saying!

Jow Forums datamines too, hiromoot needs his money

prove it

what if it was 420K
or 2M

yeah but at least here I can say "im gonna molest my little sister" without having 20 FBI agents show up to my house.

how nu r u?

discord and reddit are literally digital communism.

Moot literally testified in court on the behalf of the FBI. What are you talking about? That's not even counting all the times FBI was involved with the old CP raids back in the day

reddit beats their dissenters with downboats.

>can't back it up so refers to being an idiot
talking to you has been a waste of time

Because Discord is full of hentai and perverted weirdos. Plus the UI is childish and everything goes through one company.

IRC is distributed and simple. Simplicity wins

Fuck you Jow Forums is compromised.
Jow Forums IS KILL.

>and you still can't prove that Jow Forums is datamining

Look up the owner and what he did to 2ch

Why use either when you have Teamspeak 3? It's the best of both worlds.

IRC isn't simple at the user end, that's why it's losing to Discord

Who gives a shit, you can't be anonymous on the internet when your internet bill has your fucking name on it.

>you're not 100% anonymous to everyone so why bother at all?

Who is paying you to make this thread every day?

Matrix is the future. Use Riot.im. It's free (libre), federated, can be self-hosted, supports end-to-end encryption, doesn't have dumb memes all over the place and is better in just about every way but userbase and voice chat.

Because it's botnet

You can pay Jow Forums to autopost threads since about 2 years ago.

>The Ralph Retort's Killstream chat
But why user

based

I made up a name, and posted it on 4channel. A few days later I got a few phishing texts on my phone using that fake name.

Anyone else here /prefer to use IRC, but everyone else uses Discord, so must use Discord/?

That's basically the entirety of this board

I prefer Matrix over IRC. Thankfully Matrix can be bridged with IRC. Best of both worlds.

I don't use discord.

Because discord is full of retards and trannies probably like you are.

And because riot.im is way better anyway.

Because seemingly every channel becomes nothing more than a platform for crossdressers and furfags to share pics of their micrococks.

Lmao you think irc is winning? 90% of discord servers are more active than the most popular irc channels.
Irc is dying quickly.

Discord threads are to Jow Forums what vegan threads are to Jow Forums.

Also, searching chat logs
>irc
ctrl-f, search user, date, time, or text and it comes up instantly, scrolling with page-up and 12 years worth of logs fly by at lightning speed
>discord
search takes forever, trying the scroll up stops and has to load the next 50 lines and only 50 lines at a time

The only things this has going for it are VoIP and moderation/organization tools

I use both but IRC is for actual people I like spending time with and shitposting while Discord is because certain communities (like fighting game related shit) moved completely to Discord which is annoying as fuck.

Gotta love biased furries. I lost my fucking account with a years worth of stuff cause a furry reported me for not agreeing with them and because the entire team is furries they're biased and just usd a usual excuse such as "You were raiding, user".

IRC is as fast as the internet gets
and I'm not a computer illiterate gamer

>why use a chat protocol that you can host on your own, when you could send all your information to our servers?

I've used IRC for 7 years.

Discord is really, really nice to use.
Unfortunately, a lot of the people on it tend to be immature twats or power-tripping mods, and it's also closed-source software, and controlled by the Discord admins.

Consider trying out Matrix/Riot.im.

Mother 3 Battle Royale

>Riot.im

That consolidates all of my chats right?

>communicating with people
am I the only non-normalfag true misanthrope here?

Because discord is less stable than an irc server, much less customizable and much more buggy

>furcord
No thanks

opsie dopsie, failed to send message! retry? ok message out of order. We did an oopsie! discord is down! oh you use linux? enjoy 30 fps client

Because the Discord web interface is over 6MB, and that's before images...

It's a Discord-like client for Matrix.

>client
Why not just use the website? Are you that braindead that you need a literal piece of spyware on your computer when the website does everything you need without the bloat and intrusion?

>yiffcord

Because IRC never causes a Core i7 system to lag

I remember running ircII on my 166 MHz Pentium Pro over a 56k dial up line perfectly back in 1997. No other chat platform is this lightweight. IRC is the shortwave radio of IM, even when everything else is down it'll still be up.

Why use shitty, data grabbing Discord, when new, fast free and open source Matrix exists?

>No other chat platform is this lightweight.
While it's not currently a thing, there has been some research into getting Matrix to work with extremely limited bandwidth:
fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/matrix/
matrix.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/2019-02-03-FOSDEM-Low-Bandwidth.pdf

until a different program can support voip and filesharing while also ticking the not-spyware stallman box of approval, i'm grudgingly sticking with discord, even if it bothers you user
i'm sorry
