I hate chat history. That's corporate mentality invading your non-work brain. IRC should feel like walking into a bar full of nerds, and you just join the conversation wherever it is. Even at work, if I'm out for a few days I definitely don't "catch up on slack" - that's not what chat is for. Long lived conversations belong somewhere else - email, or PR, or (god forbid) jira.

I don't see how chat history prevents that feeling. There's no requirement to read through history every time.

I mean the lack of history on IRC is a feature, not a bug.
