Honestly it's a shame that IRC is only a thing for tech circles and that IRCv3 never took off (at least currently, libera.chat still doesn't have the /history command).

IRCv3 is being incrementally adopted, even if it is a bit slow. I think in the case of the /history command, Libera had some concerns about implementation and what channels would prefer not to have a history. ... and actually, checking the spec matrix, chathistory is still a draft.

But Libera does have some other IRCv3 features enabled.

There's also a #ircv3 on Libera with implementation discussion

		I see, good to see that it's getting implemented slowly at least. > /chathistory is still a draft Did not know that, only reason I asked was that some other server already implemented it (think it was the last 100 posts but it's been a while since then).

Jabber works.

		Probably the best protocol currently, it has modern features, has encryption (OMEMO), and isn't bloated like matrix is.
