I think it's at least partially an issue of functionality. Discord has way more functions, and if you wanna make your own Discord server, you can. 

Keep in mind when Mahz designed and coded it that the chat was meant to replace the IRC, not a Discord chat. Different functionalities there.

yeah, definitely. to be honest i'm glad the chat's there instead of the irc, because jesus christ those things are hard to use. discord is just the way to go, i guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
