What is your opinion about to create one?Why not just use matrix? Have you tried it? If you want a "modern works on mobile apps and works in a web browser" kind of chat experience, matrix provides that - e.g. use element.io to access matrix and the #e channel ... which is the same as the libera #e irc channel. What is it about discord that is specifically better than Matrix+Element in this case?
1. I can reset the password for my account (I've been locked out of matrix for years because the password reset simply doesn't work for me).
2. There is a tonne of people who are already there and using it for other communities (as with irc), in the openSUSE community we ended up with a Discord community because a bunch of users who were already there created one then later it became official.
I agree - modern tools are good. Matrix + element provide that AND provide a link back to old IRC. It means the channel is not owned by some company that might change policies in future.
In the openSUSE case we also have a bot running in Discord that bridges the chat between Matrix and Discord, in some but not all cases for openSUSE this also feeds into irc. So for me the people rather then the tools are why i'd go for Discord over Matrix, as long as nothing long term important lives there if things change you can just tell people your leaving / moving if terms change.
