Can anyone enlighten me: What is the advantage of IRC over say Matrix, Email, etc...
Email is message exchange with a person or group of people. They can reply at any time.
IRC is a chatroom. You go to it when you want to chat. A lot of software have support channels. You probably don't know most of these people. Unless you are saving them somehow, you don't have a history of the chat room.
I've never used Matrix but it's a instant messaging protocol that allows voice and video.
~~Small correction, matrix does not support voice and video, but clients like element use jitsi meet to support both.~~
From what I understand, the newest version of Element X paired with Matrix 2.0 will now support voice/video without using jitsi.
Wrong, it actually supports voice and video now, althouh it has only been implemented in element
Thank you.
Very low bandwidth or resource usage would be some advantages, less so since they made in this java heh.
no way, cool
