We use Slack at work and I use Facebook Messenger and iMessage for everything else. Sometimes I'll watch illicit NBA streams where there will be a chat next to the video and I'll shitpost in there. Most "channel" type discussion is best done in subreddits or places like HN rather than real-time chat. At least in my experience. I wasn't around during the heyday of IRC though so I have a bit of a different perspective.
