05:18 <Ruedii> Discord is for active play when voice chat is needed. Real Geeks use IRC for text.

06:59 <Lartza> Why would you need Discord for that? Mumble exists :P

16:03 <RockyTV> discord is easier to setup :P

16:09 <Thomas> Discord is actually pretty good for text only communication too

20:58 <Ruedii> Discord's protocol is actually derived from Mumble. It's just a nice simple service.

20:59 <Ruedii> For text communication, IRC is nicer because it's (even) lighter, and more universal than anything out three. It's also rock steady and a well established protocol.

21:01 <Lartza> Ruedii, source?

21:02 <Lartza> For the protocol not IRC being nicer ;)
