I agree with the sentiment about Slack being slow and bad. It’s not exactly the same as IRC though. There’s voice chat, screensharing, I can drag and drop video files without worrying about hosting, etc. People choose Slack over IRC for a reason, it’s just too bad it’s a private centralized thing written as a resource hogging electron behemoth.

because they don't know tech.

Plenty of people who "know tech" chose Slack. Don't give them a pass.
