Discord is not even necessarily Electron. I’m running it as Datcord, which is a Firefox based wrapper.

Discord has a searchble chat history, which is what sets it apart from IRC. Everything else can be emulated by modern IRC clients, such as emoji and embedded / unfurling images and link previews.

However imagine the chat history as if you had a bouncer that has 100% uptime and joined all possible chat channels from their creation, along with offering you search and buffer.

If not IRC, either Matrix or XMPP should be capable of this.

I’m fairly sure Discord’s popularity was due to aggressive marketing, likely during their venture capital funding rounds. Something which FOSS does not have.

I got that guy tagged as a mushroom, beware.

And then you write your own (wrong) answers below it in a different hand writing and pen. And call it SEO.

Blau Hai, blauer Hai.

Guess Haj/Hai is not that intuitive for an English speaker.

Naw. I’m just stretching the thought.

Thought process was not FOSS = not communal = capitalism.

Until you mention that you don’t mind select proprietary packages or drivers.

I’ve just tried it and whoa! Whole new world.

I like the lack of in-jokes, one-liners and endless popculture references.
