@entropicdrift considering how universal IRC is for open source and how other solutions are persistently lacking for the purpose (either by being proprietary, lacking decent clients, having embarrassing protocol decisions, being obscure, etc), there isn't really much other choice (that's not to say IRC is anywhere close to without flaws but it's simple, low barrier of entry, and resilient)

@entropicdrift would you mind elaborating how the choice of a chat protocol is connected to technical aspects of an operating system? i feel like i'm not galaxy brain enough for that
