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.

    No chat history

    This is patently false. Your chat history is in your client AND in most cases put online somewhere by the admins or a bot they control. I can still go look at my IRC chats from 18 years ago today.

      I’m talking about chat history for the entire channel, no matter if you’re online or not.

      Maybe admins can put them up somewhere in another place, but they are never there when you join fresh in a channel.

        It just sounds like you have very little actual experience with IRC. You can go ahead and downvote me all you want. I’ve been running IRC servers for a very long time. Any of the servers worth spending time on host their logs… Often with a link in the topic.
