gollark: What if there's no dragon above them? Will they just go up and up forever?
gollark: Probably.
gollark: Discord does, at least, make it simpler to set something up without your own server, has message history, and is less cryptic.
gollark: Well, now, most communities (like this) which would probably run on IRC use Discord, which involves reliance on that single company & giving them all your datas.
gollark: I'm somewhat unhappy that Discord has mostly been used instead of some non-centralized solution.
