I am very new into this chat applications and read about IRC and Matrix. Matrix seems its more new and modern. So I just wonder what's the reason you are still using IRC?

Don't you have to be in the channel when things are sent to see them? Like you can't go join a channel today and go back to read history threads? Right?

Usually no, unless you run a server or have a client constantly running and recording messages

Not on IRC unless they have changed things since 2012.
