Just in my personal experience Discord works a lot better and is far more convenient

Your personal experience is biased as fuck because having to go through phone verification or downloading a sketchy proprietary client is in no way far more convenient than firing up irc

I don’t see how they could make it any worst, Valve main product is a useless proprietary walled garden launcher that spy on its customers

Is this actually happening or did they manage to extend the copyright again?

It’s not like anyone is dying over private social medias, right?
