    Honestly, IRC was a very functional, easy, free, low-resource and privacy friendly chat protocol and I don’t really see why it got left behind. If you wanted image/ file support that could really be implemented client and/or server side.

      IRC is still in use by several open source projects, and it can be nice for quick and open public chatting for meeting people,and to ask questions.

        Yeah. A lot of people here don’t understand or appreciate usability of software.

        To them, devs matter and no1 else.
