Why not IRC!!!!!

People keep forgetting about this awesome protocol which has existed for years.

Lack of voice chat, message history, media hosting, screen sharing, or just about any other feature most people actually want these days. The people who want a live, purely text-only service are a stark minority anymore.

Might as well suggest smoke signals. IRC is way past its prime. Matrix and modern protocols exist.

XMPP would be the best choice at this point in time, as it doesn't suffer the downfalls of Matrix (though even Matrix would be better than Discord).
