I’m looking forward to IRC v3. It will bring modern chat features like threads and emoji reactions, and it might be time for a resurgence in its popularity

Will it require a user to set up a bouncer for chat history etc, or will it work seamlessly?

Not sure if that project will go anywhere, it doesn’t seem like it from the GitHub. Though from the people I’ve talked to, they like IRC because it’s simple without things like reactions and etc.

Other than backwards compatibility with previous IRC clients, is there anything IRCv3 brings that something like Matrix doesn’t do?

Matrix has a name for being a cumbersome protocol, which is partly true (try to join a room on a big server like
matrix.org, but alsokde.organdmozilla.org), but there are now lightweight servers such as Dendrite and Continuwuity.ComradeRachel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I love the idea of Matrix but gah it’s so damn slow and moderation/permissions are a nightmare.

The permission system is not more complicated than Discord’s.
