This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They won't tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole unavailable to the outside world and everything shared is a privacy nightmare. Posting this, pinning it here, and locking it is one of the biggest trolls possible. It pisses me off every time I log in. "Everyone else does it" is the excuse of idiots. Discord makes absolutely no sense to anyone that actually cares to look into it, read the user agreement, and ask sane questions about what they are doing.

Zoomers can't deal without their embedded images. Clicking a link to view a meme is so 1990s.

No media support and closing the client and you DC from the channel, not ideal for modern use cases such as being on mobile devices or a laptop on a train and your connection drops while you go through a tunnel

Good points. I've always gotten around the terminal issue by using irssi + screen

We've had IRC bouncers since at least psybnc in the 90s...

And how many average users would know about those or bother to either set one up or go sign up on one

Discord is a modern platform a lot of people enjoy using. IRC isn't.
