And? IRC offers me the lack of bloat I prefer, it lacks the features they want, but I specifically want to merely be modules and plugins that you can opt out of if you don't want the overhead of having to bother with them. It also offers me access to the bots that enable me to get out in front and join the BitTorrent swarm early so that I actually build ratio on private bit torrent trackers. The whole problem with discord's approach is that if I disagree with the preferences of these users, I cannot meaningfully opt out. Discord is just one big blob of features and if you want to strip out unwanted ones you can't because it's a complete package.
