It’s either discord or one of the TS clones.

Does IRC have voice chat? Does IRC have chatlogs that are easy to scroll through? Does IRC have image upload? Does IRC have mobile notifications? Is IRC easy to use on mobile, if at all? Does IRC have emojis?
I fucking hate these niggers that pretend IRC is the best but also never use it.

Unfortunately a lot of these open source retards just wanna reinvent the IRC wheel for the 1000th time instead of implementing features normies want in a modern day chat app like good voice chat and discord like voice channels instead of skype style calling or good video calling and video streaming.
