most of these things are client-specific but available with IRC. (edits aren’t)

How long would it take to explain to someone who just wants to voice/video chat with their friends how they can set this functionality up with the same ease as discord? And how much will it cost for them to do that?

The missing feature of IRC is to be able to get all the messages even when you’re offline. V3 was as missed opportunity for that

You mean like you get if you run a BNC, or just run your irssi or weechat inside a screen session, or headless X session that you reattach remotely?

I've never understood people who log out of IRC.
