Yes, I still use IRC. I use it on Freenode and also a few others. I would like to have server-side logging (and have implemented it in a IRC server software once experimentally), but nobody else seems to have that. (It has nothing to do with the protocol, but rather, with the implementation.) Since now some people are using Discord instead, I am not communicating with them. IRC is much better than Slack and Discord and Matrix. (I also think that they should make this Hacker News available with NNTP, too.)
