Profile field added for Discord, ICQ removed

Just flaunting my ignorance here as I've never used Discord: is ICQ an instant messaging client on Discord?
 
They are both IM clients really. Discord is a modern one, ICQ is ancient and doesn't even support usernames (just numbers). It's like the oldest messanger client I can think of and is used today pretty much solely by spambots.

You know the garbage friends/chat UI Steam just implemented? Valve was trying to copy Discord. Discord is HTML5-based that's multiple platform, supports inline/uploaded images/videos/links, and has servers with voice/text channels. It even has some basic game features (displaying what people are playing, some games you can even join multiplayer sessions someone else is in).
 
ICQ has shut down since, it was my first messenger :sad:

Discord seems to be all the hype, not a big fan personally, but their app is much less horrible than Skype what I'm using all the time
 
Skype what I'm using all the time

You know from my screentime on it how much I love our friend Skype... (sarcasm, for those who don't know I am almost never on Skype and had it solely for TPU)
