The only advantages of discord over IRC or other things, is the chat history, voice, and the ability to delete messages. Discord is made for gamers. Not to mention each server has channels, which make it impossible to follow up certains topics. You can't even favorite a channel, and you have to "subscribe" to the whole server. Oh yeah and a full electron instance, of I don't know how many megabytes, just to display images, gifs and a certain interface style. I hope the low tech trend comes back.
