Why do you use IRC? (lemmy.kevitprojects.com)

I am very new into this chat applications and read about IRC and Matrix. Matrix seems its more new and modern. So I just wonder what's the reason you are still using IRC?

My irssi configuration is exactly how I want it for about two decades now. Why change something good?

Holy shit. That's a program I've not heard on a long long time.

May I ask what do you mainly use it for? Chatting? Group Chatting?

[-] aard@kyu.de 5 points 1 year ago

Both. Some work chats also are still IRC, but unfortunately less than they used to.

I also bridge whatever is possible into IRC via bitlbee. Unfortunately not that useful anymore, but looks like there's now an active project to bridge matrix again, which probably can take over.
