Need chat? IRC, at your service.
Just.. no. Please stop pushing IRC. It's had decades to evolve and still today lacks really basic QoL things like a good mobile story (always-on connections won't fly, bouncers are limited hacks), permissions, or user registration that doesn't look like an 80s xterm.
Matrix is carrying that torch now. IRC is an evolutionary dead-end that will only ever be used by techies.
