Deltachat works ok for 1:1 chats and small groups. It is totally unsuitable for large public channels as it doesn’t really have a concept of group chats and just pretends so by (in email parlance) adds every one in ‘CC’. This only works ok for small private groups.
IRC just needs to get it’s shit together and start adopting IRCv3 features on the larger servers. The problem is really only that networks like libera.chat run a feature set that is at least 15 years behind what IRC can actually do.
I never heard of ircv3 before. TIL. But, some parts of it don’t seem irc-like, and sacrifice the aspects that have made me stay on irc all this time. Hmm. I’ll look at it more later.

Ah, too bad. That was perhaps too much to ask.
