@mhoye@cosocial.ca @chroma@raccoonisland.social but also at the time heavy media usage was an accessibility issue. A lot of folks didn't have internet connections that could support that. For-profit corporations could make their profit from the people who were already there and gamble on access increasing.

@mhoye@cosocial.ca @chroma@raccoonisland.social Personally, I like that. Slack is a godawful nightmare, and all of the shitposts and memes just waste time (at work) anyway. I can't think of any groundbreaking Slack feature that has ever made my job meaningfully easier, other than like... file sharing, I guess. I don't need everyone to use IRC.

@mhoye@cosocial.ca @chroma@raccoonisland.social yeah, I agree with this — I remember a time before Slack or Discord existed, and nobody except huge nerds used IRC then either. I barely understand it and I had a ZX Spectrum. There's a lot to like about it, but "IRC is unpopular mostly because it's inconvenient" is such a self-evidently true statement it kind of baffles me that anyone could disagree
