All IRC really needs to be brought into the modern world is voice and video chat. I mean, those are the reasons everyone I knew ditched IRC back in the day for shit like Skype and TeamSpeak. It never really needed improvement for the text part. Maybe allowing images to be embedded? Everything else about IRC was, and still is, peak.

Discord circa 2018 was pretty much everything I’d want in a modern IRC.
If they can just bring that set of features, I’d switch back to IRC in a heartbeat.
Oldschool Discord really was modern IRC. The creeping enshittification of it over the last 5-6 years has been sad to witness.
Be the change you want to see in the world
