So far I really like it, anyone else using it? I'm really considering setting up the discord bridge and just using revolt

I've never had the need for any of those things. A text-only chat is a cleaner and better chat. Specially reactions, those are rather absurd and irritating.

Audio is definitely a different use case, and Mumble works great for that. You can just host both on the same domain and be done with it. You could even write a client that supports both IRC and Mumble if you wanted to, instead of constantly reinventing the wheel.

And I'm sure you could implement in-line images in IRC if you wanted, after all Twitch's chat is IRC and they have images.

Show me an IRC where I can share images and then jump into a jitsi voice call or whatever, I'd use it every day. I'm in discord, matrix, all of this shit. I mostly wanna send memes to a few friends 😮‍💨

Edit: reactions are pretty sweet in my eyes btw. I use a lot of emojis.

A lot of Lemmy people seem to vehemently hate emojis

With centralization and prebuilt integration’s disadvantages comes extreme convenience. And I like sending images of random things I see and would like to share.
