After writing this report, I have also found two alternate implementation, one is an actual IRC server and the other an irssi plugin.
https://github.com/mk-fg/reliable-discord-client-irc-daemon https://github.com/mjsir911/irssi-discord the ircd has this interesting WARNING that Discord might consider any non-native client to be a bot and accordingly banned. a. -- Non qui parum habet, sed qui plus cupit, pauper est. It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor. - Lucius Annaeus Seneca (65 AD)
