Re: memory usage: I get that people don't like bloated Electron clients when they already run a browser instance, but fortunately, Element doesn't need to be run as a standalone app (*). Well, except when you want to search encrypted history. But then you're out of luck with irccloud, too... I run Element in a pinned Firefox tab, and according to its task manager it reports 27.4MB, which is about the same for my WhatsApp tab. It's a bit more than irccloud (about 20MB), but I also have quite a few chats in that one tab. It's also quite a lot less than every individual MR page of our GitLab instance (27-110MB), of which I have pinned about 5-10 at any time, so it really doesn't matter much. Since the Matrix<->Libera.chat bridge works now, I have next to no incentive to push for Matrix at the moment, although I still would prefer it. All arguments have been said, so I won't repeat them. It seems like this discussion will go stale in time without anyone stepping up to force a migration. Fine with me.

Apparently, Freenode deleted all registered users and channels several hours ago.

I guess that should solve the problem of communities being split between Freenode and Libera.

If I may add towards using IRC, even though it may seem archaic towards newcomers:

- it allows them to join without registration (via web.libera.chat), and - it allows them to use a client of their choosing (I am not aware of any stable Matrix clients beside Element).

From my own experience, Electron-based clients (Element included) consume unreasonable amounts of RAM: Element is consuming ~700MiB of RAM just to stay idle on my machine. To give a fair comparison, the tab for irccloud tends to consume ~300MiB.
