This isn't just useful for their own marketing as some may imply. My guess is building out an ad network/platform for 3p advertisers to run ads on it.

- smolder 2y agoDiscord has nearly finished killing IRC, so it must be time to enshittify!
- MisterTea 2y agoUntil Discord makes it impossible to run an IRC server or client I dont see IRC going anywhere.
- tredre3 2y agoYou, Me, and the 12 other IRC users remaining aren't going anywhere. But denying that Discord has effectively killed IRC is just self-delusion in my opinion.
- smolder 2y agoYeah, protocols are unkillable, but the interest in IRC was definitely hurt by Discord. Had they started putting ads in the client from the start, I doubt so many groups would have migrated to it.
