Actually, Discord does this pretty well. I honestly consider it a 21st century successor to IRC. The unfortunate fact is that Discord is still a closed system, with not even the ability to run your own instance, instead with the owners insisting on a cloud-run infrastructure.
Just imagine how much better Discord, Slack, et al. could be if you could host your own instances with your own rules and with your own extensions.
