If you think everyone using the Discord/Slack/Mattermost/Rocketchat/… generation of chat with inline image display and all those features, voice and video chat and screen sharing is ever going to switch to IRC at this point you are simply delusional.
Oh, I don’t expect it to happen, I’m just pointing out that it still exists and takes care of some of that functionality. I don’t think I’ve ever seen gifs, videos, or screen sharing implemented in IRC.
IRC is basically all the chat portions of discord.

Better though because you don’t need an account, and can gain a lot of anonymity via an eggdrop or vpshell etc.
