Why still use IRC when platforms like discord and Matrix exist?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/irc

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Synapse

    Discontinued Synapse: Matrix homeserver written in Python/Twisted.

  • Speaking of not getting messages, this is a recurring issue in Matrix when talking across homeservers. Just last week, matrix.org accidentally stopped talking to another server and we had to harass matrix.org's admins for >30 hours for them to start looking at it. It's not even the first time this happens between these two servers (and both are operated by Element, by the way, so it shouldn't be hard to keep them working together).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
