> IRC is awesome. The biggest downside is that when you join a channel, you don't get to read all the previous history. In that important feature Twitter/Slack is superior. I use bip[1], which is an IRC bouncer. I basically connect to networks from a remote machine, and when I hop into IRC, I connect to that machine - which gives me some playback of what's been said beforehand, so I know at least some of the context. This doesn't solve the 'problem' for joining new channels, but it's nice if you have regular channels you hang out in. 1: https://bip.milkypond.org/ (their cert is broken :/)
