Official Discord server

[Sir_Silver]

I don't really know what the strengths of IRC over something like Discord are. Is there a reason to be using it in 2017 over Discord?

It's the current year, just switch already to something new for the sake of switching to something new.

To the point though, Discord is proprietary and does not even allows you hosting on your own hardware. Good luck patching together entire community in another chat service once Discord goes under. And, of all voicechat software that rose to prominency, its only rival in how anti-freedom it is, is Skype.

Unless I'm mistake, this Forum is the center of mass for the community. If discord collapses, the community would use this forum to discuss its replacement.

IRC still is and will be extant for a very long time, so that room should not vanish, at least.

I've set up an official Discord server for LÖVE at https://discord.gg/rhUets9 . It's still in its infancy so feedback is welcome!

The IRC channel is still around of course, and I'll continue to be active there. Discord is generally more accessible than IRC however (despite discord's future not being entirely dependable), so I feel like having an official LÖVE presence on both platforms makes sense.

Thanks for setting this up.
