I think the Lisp Discord server is also better at this sort of thing. I've seen a few requests (not walls) or tips for better formatting in the #beginner-questions room but they're pretty polite, and at least one person with really messed up formatting initially improved and hasn't been chased off so... Despite the qualms I have with Discord itself, I also think it's just naturally more jovial than IRC in large part thanks to the interface. You can paste code blocks with basic syntax highlighting (don't need to farm out to pastebin (or risk people yelling at you for flooding an IRC room)), there are direct replies that can make parallel conversations easier to track, and the recent threading feature gets a bit of use, and separate but easy to see and reach channels for topic separation keep things better organized, there's easily searchable history...
