@unfa I'm not OK - IRC has the advantage to be "textual" and a simple protocol. So I can use it on a TTY (no X session) when I manipulate a broken server / computer to ask for help.
It should be kept alive at least for technicians as I am.
@unfa Of course it's not the majority of the usage, but you say "IRC must die" :) I say "no"
Matrix protocol is complex and overkill to only have an easy server or client configuration. I don't say that Matrix is bad, I only say that IRC is not a bad choice for many reasons.
From my point of view, it's like saying that we should abandon terminal in profit to Gnome / KDE...
@unfa Precision: I'm a Matrix defender
