Ah, quality IRC replacements.
IRC is too difficult for normal people to figure out. Normals don’t know how to /join, /nick, and all that other stuff. People want a username and password, because that’s a standard thing that everyone knows.
Even Matrix is too complicated for most people.
IRC serves a purpose, but judging by the success of Discord there’s obviously something lacking from IRC.

I have the same thought. Group chat is a solved problem, why do people keep flocking to shittier alternatives is beyond me. Want notifications? Install a bouncer, done.

You already lost like 99% of people with that alone, lmao
Also, IRCv3 exists.
I haven’t heard of v3, I’ll have to check it out.
