I hear complaints about UX and usability but I will give it a try. Thanks!

The complaints are definitely fair. It's noticeably less polished than Discord. But well worth trying out to see if that polish is an issue that will actually matter to you.

It is hella janky but its the best we've got, if IRC isn't enough.

If IRC is enough, it is clearly, clearly better than matrix.
