<p>Telegram is an open-source option as well ... but I have no
issues with IRC, I can see there might be an issue with freenode
though ... I think most folks will prefer a more modern chat area,
ofc</p>

<p>Telegram is more polished and simpler, tons of bot projects that

I'm curious: what's annoying about IRC that Matrix fixes?<br>

There are also desktop and mobile apps that are free as
well.<br>
<br>
What open source Matrix client(s) do you recommend?<br>
aptitude search matrix on Ubuntu finds a lot of libraries<br>
but I'm not seeing anything that looks like a client, and
none<br>
of the clients listed on <a
href="https://matrix.org/clients/" rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://matrix.org/clients/</a>
seem to<br>
be available in the ubuntu repos. I'm game to try it if you<br>
can recommend a client.<br>
<br>
I gather that bridging between Matrix and IRC is supposed to
be<br>
easy, though? So maybe we could have an IRC bridge, which
would<br>
then give everyone a big choice of IRC clients.<br>
<br>
