I've been a heavy user of IRC back in the days, I really don't want to use IRC anymore. It doesn't do much and all the clients suck.

I think this really shows that federated protocols can really stagnate.



irssi works just fine. I wish slack was as little bloated as irc clients.

LOL. Most people use mIRC on windows, tell me this is not bloated.


Windows is bloated as soon as you boot


XMPP worked well enough with a server or client that supported history. Supposedly Matrix is better though I'm too lazy to try and convince everyone I know to use it.
