What do y'all think about mailing lists and IRC as sole communication channels?

Say you want to contribute to a project and find out the only way to do so is by discussing the issue on IRC or the mailing list, then submitting the patch per email.

I’m sad the world moved past IRC. It was always chock full of tech geniuses and underground nerd shit. The normies can have discord

I’m still amazed that people consider proprietary app Discord the successor to IRC

I’m surprised discord is so commonly used with such a horribly unintuitive UX. I can’t recall all my problems with it, but I remember absolutely hating using it at first, as a person with early adopter tendencies.
