Well I still haven't seen a modern chat application which gives all the IRC features. Its like they have deliberately removed all the good features.

- ekianjo 9y agoreal time typing in icq was pretty cool. I wonder if any other system ever replicated that?
- taneq 9y agoytalk :P
- starsinspace 9y agoYeah, and one of the most important features of IRC being "lightweight native client, integrating seamlessly with my environment". Somehow, these "modern" chat systems just can't do that.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoBecause that would require opening up either the client or the protocol, both of which are anathema to people trying to make money from those systems.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoBeing optimized for communication and being optimized for making money are mutually exclusive goals.
- taylorexpander 9y agoI’ve never used IRC before, so I’m honestly curious, what features does IRC have that Slack(/Discord) don’t or can’t have through extensions like bots and plugins?
