I think everything discord does is still outright better. I was an IRC yser for a long time and I still have a znc server out there running, but: Everything is painful. Clients tend to be terrible and I cannot search at all in IRC, or I get weird integrations between znc and and the chat client. All in all, i'd rather use discord than IRC, even with the downsides. I do prefer forums or the "was" reddit for information.
