You are free to build and maintain a bidirectional bridge bot, though

You know there's a portable version for discord, right?Dinosawer wrote:Why would we use something heavier and proprietary to do the exact same thing our lightweight, open and portable thing already does?
(We use Discord, when we need voice chat, otherwise, nah)

In this case, portable = it can be ported to whatever platform you wantJanB1 wrote:You know there's a portable version for discord, right?Dinosawer wrote:Why would we use something heavier and proprietary to do the exact same thing our lightweight, open and portable thing already does?

Iirc Discord was blocked on DW's work or something while IRC was not.Silverware wrote:Discord also runs on anything with a Javascript browser.
So I don't see any real gains/losses over IRC, beyond that we are already on IRC.
And bots are more of a pain in the arse on discord.
No, Discord runs IN a Javascript browser. Good luck writing your own client for it.Silverware wrote:Discord also runs on anything with a Javascript browser.

It runs on packets. Like all network things. It's easy enough to simulate a server or client if you know enough about the packets.Dinosawer wrote:No, Discord runs IN a Javascript browser.

Whereas IRC runs on everything that has an internet connection.
(And is a lot lighter)
Then go and write us a lib.Silverware wrote: It runs on packets. Like all network things. It's easy enough to simulate a server or client if you know enough about the packets.
And Javascript lends itself to explaining all its packets. :V
Using that logic, you can write a client for multiplayer DOOM (new one) in Javascript.Silverware wrote: It runs on packets. Like all network things. It's easy enough to simulate a server or client if you know enough about the packets.

Discord is hardly a replacement for Teamspeak. It's a relatively different function.JanB1 wrote:True.Dinosawer wrote:If he willingly says dumb things, I can tease him as much as I want.
But yeah, I know that you could get IRC running on a potato (well, not exactly, but you get the metaphor) and Discord is just a cool and sleek replacement of the old and trusty (and nearly never updated) Teamspeak.
