IRC does not
- let you post images or other files (DCC send doesn't count even if you somehow get it to work)
- show link previews
- do voice chat
- do screen sharing
- have offline messaging capability

Please stop saying IRC is an alternative to Discord. It's not. Or at best it's a very shitty alternative

@eniko I’ve yet to see a screenshot of an IRC client that wasn’t using a monospace font, and I think that speaks for itself
