You're being disingenuous. IRC has been right at the center of the vast majority of non-enterprise technical communities and especially opensource for the last 25 years. Say what you will about culture but this is a fact and I don't see it changing. Slack and Teams are gimmicks at best. Matrix unusable for me, every single one of my peers and, apparently, the vast majority of said technical communities that keep their center of operations firmly entrenched in IRC.

We recently switched to use self-hosted Mattermost plus Matterbridge[1] to connect with IRC, Telegram, Discord, etc. There is also an amazing console client - Matterhorn[2].

  Note that mattermost by default phones home to a spyware analytics service even when you selfhost it. The env vars for disabling it are hidden/undocumented. Copy the diagnostics/securityalert env vars from here, as well as the sed lines: https://github.com/caprover/one-click-apps/blob/master/public/v4/apps/mattermost.yml https://github.com/caprover/one-click-apps/blob/master/publi...

    I hope the categories that are already available in the Web client will be available in the mobile [1] and Matterhorn [2] clients too.

Weird. I contribute to a lot of open source projects. Never once used IRC. Discord, Slack, Gitter but never IRC. And love the idea of Slack being a gimmick.
