Worked at Red Hat, the amount of anger around decommissioning our internal IRC servers was HUGE (and hell, even then, half the company was using/happy with GChat, the other half on Slack. People who actually paid attention to both were very minority).

Loved having IRC at Red Hat from a nostalgia perspective but it was a total disaster from a business standpoint.

Also, at red hat, we’d complain to the whole company about paper towels vs air dryers in the bathrooms, so naturally the complaints about losing IRC would be expected! It’s refreshing to be at a place where I can make a decision without getting second guessed and derailed by someone totally unrelated to what I’m doing.
