Move to Matrix instead, let IRC die already.
Sure, but that's not really an IRC-specific feature, lots of chats are self-hostable. Mattermost is a pretty unapologetic Slack clone. I used to use IRC quite a bit years ago, but these days I really don't see the point, I don't think it has any actual advantages over modern solutions other than sentiment
The problem with this is that this is just fundamentally untrue. There are plenty of non-Electron apps that are viable. For core functionality of e2ee, messages, exploring directories, sending images, etc, those are available in multiple alternative apps. If you're talking about other integrations like video calling, plugins, and spaces, then you'd be right as I don't know other clients that have those. But, none of those things are really required in the matrix protocol anyways, and those available features in other clients already far surpasses what IRC can do. You don't need these bleeding edge features to have an enjoyable experience on Element, and given the IRC crowd, I would assume they're adverse to bleeding edge anyways. If you want an experience similar to irssi, then you can use gomuks for a superior experience in a familiar(ish) client. So saying Element is the only suitable client implementation is outright false.
