Why is discord so popular in non-gaming circles? People use it as a shitty, bloated and centralized IRC clone, with the voice fuction being completely ignored.

bc everyone is a gamer, and using another chatting app is just adding more clutter

I'm no discord fan but my recent attempts with using IRC failed because I had incorrect reverse dns or some shit like that. Obviously I have no control over that in a consumer connection.

There are still better alternatives than Discord, though :)
