    1. There is literally nothing better, discord is closed source, matrix is slow and buggy
    2. It gets the job done with no fan fair
    3. It self moderates, only people willing to jump through the hoops to talk constructivly will do so
    4. Retro tech is fun

      It self moderates

      From what Mozilla found, the opposite is true. It’s quite difficult to stop abuse, to the point where they ended their IRC network. It is, however, fabulously good at being a barrier to entry into any community that chooses to use it, and not in a good way. When the community locks itself away behind technical walls, we exclude people based mostly on current technical ability.
