   slack is lame when there is IRC, but the ability to create channel sections has greatly improved the product

     @musicman I have never seen or used #Slack. I hear that people really like it.

     @musicman I know I don’t use #IRC to its full potential. Maybe once I actually get my #vaporware socnet project going, I’ll have a reason to learn it better. Use a CLI client and a bouncer, use slash commands, spin up an eggdrop. Learn to kick and ban troublesome users.
     
     For now, Quassel and a #Matrix bridge are good enough.

     mostly I think it is silly for #opensource projects to use it, especially when https://gitter.im/ exists.
     
     of course, we are an open source group in a not open source company, so I understand why we use it.

     this is a battle we in ops fought at Epic too, though for us it was XMPP, not IRC. I can't remember what the alternative was...I think Skype, but maybe it was email.
