Personnel
gollark: I do like that Discord is more, well, modern, and doesn't require a constant open socket, and has decent support for *formatting*, images, etc.
gollark: I mean, yes, but I would prefer an open-source platform with better privacy stuff going on.
gollark: You can use a bouncer-type thing where you connect to an intermediary thing which actually connects to IRC. It's a higher barrier to entry though.
gollark: IRC is the protocol; there are many implementations.
gollark: Just use an IRC mobile app for that.
