I like IRC and host IRC servers. Remco once said:
"Even to this day, IRC is the 'debug enable verbose' of the global routing
system."

RIPE community members create channels via platforms like slack, irc,
discord, whatsapp, mattermost, telegram, signal; and then (some of)
those channels go out of fashion again. It seems only natural that
people create non-public backchannels which come and go.
To me, any inability to publicly reference messages, would seem an
impediment when collectively reasoning about policy for the public
Internet.
Kind regards,
Job
ps. Elsewhere in this thread someone implied "only old people use email",
this seems wide of the mark. In my experience people of all ages use email.
