Serious?

Either way, come back to IRC. :P

No, wait, if you were stupid enough to move to discord… do not come back to IRC, polluting it with your stupid.

[I say smugly with IRC never having done anything like this in its >30 years existence… until some future dystopian rule descends on even IRC…? Yikes. Scary thought.]

No, let them in so they can tell you you were right. Honestly. I’m one of them. I regret migrating away but nobody was left on IRC. Turns out it’s better that way.

Such a rule can’t descend on IRC as I understand it — anyone could just stand up a new server, couldn’t they?

  Until the global gestapo put a stop to that.
  
  But yeah. They [the “total information awareness” sort] buy out a network focused on free software, and then nearly everybody just leaves, to a new network. Did happen already.
