I don't see any compelling reason to adopt Slack. It does nothing that I care about that IRC doesn't do. If IRC completely implodes, I would run my own IRC server.
- spookthesunset 8y ago> I would run my own IRC server That's nice for you personally, but how does running an inhouse bespoke IRC server have anything to do with whatever line of business your company is in?
- Scene_Cast2 8y agoIRC is horrible on phones (shitty history when you drop out of an internet connection, no cross-device unread-count synchronization, no encryption or login, etc). There are add-ons that try to fix that, but it's still a giant pain. I personally love Riot and Matrix as a "modern IRC".
- xPaw 8y agoThe Lounge is an IRC client that solves the problems you describe (persistence on any device, synchronised unread counters, push notifications) - https://github.com/thelounge/thelounge https://github.com/thelounge/thelounge It does require having your own server to host it on though.
- linuxftw 8y agoHadn't seen this before. Looks nice. I tried the demo, smooth other than the /j is not an alias for /join, which I think is an obvious oversight.
