I suspect most internal IRC nets just consist of a single server

  That's not exactly a point for slack, since internal slack nets don't exist. I call this "downtime as a service": you get all of the satisfaction an interrupted work day without any of the annoyance of being able to fix it yourself.

    The flip side of that is with Slack, you have all the same problems as when your internal IRC server going down, but without the additional productivity loss of internal resources having to drop what they're doing to fix the damn thing.

      I wasn't being 100% sarcastic. It's sometimes actually nice to use saas downtime as an excuse to take the day off without being the guy who has to fix it.

      sudo service ircd-irc2 restart I'm pretty sure SSH-ing into the server and executing that command costs less in productivity than waiting for Slack to fix their issues.
