> You can be much more expressive on discord, instantly jump into a call and screenshare, easily link people to other rooms, tag, import bots etc.

Some would see those as negatives.

Just because a protocol doesn't change purposes as time goes on that doesn't mean it "sucks". Who is this "they" you're talking about? Do you think IRC is a centralized service like Discord?
