I can chat on Discord any day.

I wish people would not use Discord.

I wish they would use open source tools like Matrix or Zulip.

Or IRC!

Absolutely! The lack of 'features' like stickers, giphys, videos etc is a feature in itself for me!

Honestly though, after having used slack at work, i definitely feel that not having random thingies dance in the corner of my screen is the killer feature of irc
