Isn’t the comparison for IRC, Slack and Discord? It’s not dead. Neither is ICQ. However we can probably agree ICQ is pretty close to dead and IRC is holding its own with a small number of people and no growth to look forward to. Discord right now is capturing almost all potential users. Unfortunate Discord has gotten so big and continuing to grow (they just raised hundreds of millions at a $15B valuation in Sept) without better options to be able to back/export things or have a web archive of channels. I’m assuming a web archive of channels is possible with the API, but I haven’t checked enough. If it is available. It is surprising I have never seen a Discord or Slack web archive of communities you’d think would want this sort of thing like troubleshooting communities like programming ones.
