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?

    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.

      Don’t you have to be in the channel when things are sent to see them? Like you can’t go join a channel today and go back to read history threads? Right?
