IRC is not a web protocol. IRC is on the Internet, but not the web.
IRC frontends can be and are hosted on web pages, but that's not the same thing.
Discord is hosted on port 443, uses HTTPS as a transport protocol, and is entirely a web application.
anyway, I feel that discord is meant to be just as ephemeral as plain IRC is, given that nearly every IRC server I have ever used automatically logged everything that happened to a searchable web interface.
