It seems, from what little I've read, that Matrix servers can
integrate with IRC server networks and bridge channels fairly
seamlessly. If there were a Matrix bridge providing access to the
same channels as people were participating in via IRC (wherever that
happened to be), would that address your concerns?
Not quite. It would probably solve the issues *for me*, but I've already solved most of my issues. If we still say "our official communication channel is IRC", that's what people will (try to) use.
If we do get an easy "hey, press this button to talk to ironic folks", it may change my mind though. Right now it seems to be IRCCloud, but I'm a bit uneasy about recommending everyone to go through some private service, especially about putting something like that in our contributor's guide.
