Since you need to maintain a constant connection to irc for it to work, it’s unusable on mobile since the connection will be killed as soon as you switch app or lock the screen. Which is why everyone used irccloud.
The experience is pretty sub standard even on desktop. Back in the day I ended up IP banned from the whole of freenode because my internet connection was flaky while I was away and I ended up banned for spamming join/quit messages.

" Ouch. I feel you there. Intermittent connectivity can truly suck. I've had issues like that before. I try not to connect to IRC in situations like that. but these issues can often be resolved with a Bouncer. like, I was beginning to wonder why you were saying what you said. I was going to be like what do you need logging or such? I honestly prefer the logging situation on IRC. People will expect you to read the entire backlog on discord. Discord is indeed free of cost which could save enterprises money I suppose. The ocst of maintaining a BNC for networks that don't offer it for free can get high. Running ZNC was beginning to cause hash ocean to ask me for over 100 a month. But Rizon and the networks I use most frequently run their own free of cost that provides permannence so you get your backlog.
