After the slack irc apocalypse, we switched to matrix.org and riot with my friends. I must say, I'm really impressed by the quality of the product. Regarding its popularity I would have expected a lower quality product. In fact the UX and the UI are superior to slack. Furthermore while not needed, it was _very_ easy to host my own matrix server and to use bridges to access my preferred IRC channels. So my server keep track of the messages written when I'm not logged in. Really its just great and I recommend everyone to give it a try.
