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?

IRC is so simple you can connect with a telnet client.

Matrix does have bridges to other services, including IRC, but I haven’t really gotten into matrix either. IRC has always been good enough.
