Where the fuck are we gonna go?
I dunno. There’s probably a discord group that discussed it but you are not in it so I guess you won’t ever know.
Element. If you are missing something, talk to all those motivated people doing Discord bots or whatever, they can contribute to Element/Matrix. And it's actually open source, they keep their contributions, contrary to all the work they have done for Discord for free.
You could go to matrix
IRC is basically all the chat portions of discord.
If you think everyone using the Discord/Slack/Mattermost/Rocketchat/... generation of chat with inline image display and all those features, voice and video chat and screen sharing is ever going to switch to IRC at this point you are simply delusional.
Oh, I don't expect it to happen, I'm just pointing out that it still exists and takes care of some of that functionality. I don't think I've ever seen gifs, videos, or screen sharing implemented in IRC.
Better though because you don't need an account, and can gain a lot of anonymity via an eggdrop or vpshell etc.
