If something came up that were as easy to use as Discord but didn't store all the chat centrally unencrypted... I would be well in favor of that. Like if each developer could just fire up a private server instance and I could add that server to my list and chat in their channels and jump around servers? That would be super awesome.
But yeah, I'm in probably a dozen Discord servers that I mostly follow for gamedev news or YouTube channel post updates or whatever, that I never really interact with.
It's very similar IIRC to IRC, just... with a GUI that makes it easy to use for non-techies and those of us who just don't have the time to memorize commands.
