And still don't have a fraction of the features. As somebody that used irc a lot in the day, it's ridiculous to suggest that a protocol that doesn't even save chat history is being compared to the feature rich chat apps of today.

Slack and its clones have fewer features than IRC, not more.

They're also much more wasteful of resources, and needlessly proprietary ecosystems.

trivially false. consider: inline images, emojis, rich links, rich integrations
