I mean the UI part, of course - Slack has public channels that everyone can easily discover and join.
Of course, IRC can do all of that (much better than Slack, from a technical point of view). But IRC + The Lounge is not a drop-in replacement for Slack.
- Sir_Cmpwn 8y agoYou just mean recommending channels, then? Put them in your motd and a clickable list will show up when they log in.
- lima 8y agoSure - I know more than one company who uses IRC internally, and it works just fine. However, Slack or Rocket Chat have much better usability for non-technical users.
- YaManicKill 8y agoThe Lounge has easy access to IRC's LIST command, which does exactly this. The UI is a bit dirty, but we'll hopefully tidy it up soon. https://files.yamanickill.com/Q0MSPAU8.png https://files.yamanickill.com/Q0MSPAU8.png
