Even if Slack doesn't IRC it is absolutely based on it, down to slash commands and channel name syntax.


i mean, i hope people remember that slack had an irc bridge and it was awesome. i used to use irssi there was no linux slack app.


Yep. And then they discontinued it saying they wanted to add features that wouldn't work on IRC.

Yes. That's why I was using the IRC bridge.


I still use irssi...
