Discord is different from IRC in both the scale and payload. It's besides the point anyway, even if discord is still an unoptimismed piece of shit.

You clearly have issues with that unpolished turd. So I figured I'd offer my insights in what often causes that.

If you still insist on having your computer coming to a crawl because IRC did it better than that's entirely up to you.

given the 'mutual servers' feature of Discord one could argue that Discord encourages users to idle in many servers even more aggressively than IRC did given the social networking implications.

in reality on IRC almost every client connected with invisible mode on so aggregating big vinn diagrams of overlapping channels between users in every channel was a lot more laborious.
