@methyltheobromine discord allows you to have other users than yourself, your self hosted irc server doesn't
-
@lain irc allows me to host actual servers, discord doesn't

> On 26 May 2021, Freenode took control of approximately 700 registered channels – including those of Gentoo Linux, Raku, Elixir and Haskell – which had migrated or intended to migrate to Libera Chat. This came after Freenode modified its off-topic policy to prohibit "inappropriate advertising" several days prior. The Gentoo Linux project said "We cannot perceive this otherwise than as an open act of hostility and we have effectively left Freenode."[45] Lee dismissed the criticism, stating that a "cancel culture mob has actively infiltrated major FOSS projects".[45]

@lain IRC does not have an admin randomly banning people from the entire protocol because they once got accused of something they didn't do and then refuses to accept any proof of the opposite.
In IRC, this same power abuse is done by channel ops, and seldomly also by server ops. Thus, less centralized and one can actually go elsewhere.
-
@divVerent @lain IRC servers these days are large and concentrated. If you get banned then you're essentially isolated.
-
@FrailLeaf @lain And then you use another IRC network.
There is no other Discord network.
-
@divVerent @lain if its possible, its been done. IRC server ops do ban out of personal grudge. They're people too
-
@lain being better by not sending the user notifications 2/3 of the time. This is truly peak chat app design. Literally anything else is better than pisscord
-
@kj00 imagine using pisscord on microshaft winblows
-
@lain shitcord doesn't work on linux OR android retard
-
@kj00 why would I use losix or scamdroid
