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?

International Residential Code, another meaning of IRC

Oh good to know!

As others have already said, I guess it's the repository of content. I watched Heat and Cape Fear for the first time yesterday, and then spent like an hour reading random threads about it. And I could have easily continued! And there are movies with an endless supply of huge threads, like Eyes Wide Shut.

This is just an anecdotal example that I just lived yesterday.

Because matrix is slow and xmpp is dead

Matrix is bloated, eating VPS resources and it's tied to Israeli Intel. Xmpp is better than bloated matrix. Besides I don't trust matrix very much. Most of users use main matrix instance and don't bother to spread the servers to avoid centralization
