Discord wins out in terms of features and **being where people are already at** in terms of modern IRC with replacement with bonus audio and video features for use when desired. I rarely bother to hang out on freenode IRC anymore out of inertia and being yet another window to poll. discord having a mobile app gives a much better signal and a chance that I'll stop by. It is also already where things like circuitpython happen. None of that changes the fact that many of us won't remain online and responsive in yet another channel at most times. We're not "on call" for core dev. But we're probably not online and responsive at low latency in the existing channels either so this shouldn't come as a shock. -gps
