I found myself loving what this guy writes about IRC, and I think a lot of his words will go straight to the heart of specially the older nerds here on Lemmy.

Hope you enjoy.

    I used to love IRC and have a fair amount of nostalgia for it. That said, a post advocating for IRC that doesn’t even mention Matrix is failing to discuss the best replacement for IRC. Matrix is the IRC killer. After using Matrix, I don’t understand how anyone could want to go back to IRC with its net splits, non persistent chat history, lack of rich text, etc.
