BatcastleIRC is terrible and not at all a viable messaging platform anymore.
almindor@Batcastle what would you say should be the go to platform then?
@almindor
There isn't one. There are ones that are better such Discord, Telegram, and Briar. But they all have their issues (mostly not being FOSS. Or the ones that are aren't widely used or have some other issues.) Personally, I prefer Telegram, but do use Discord often.

If it were up to me, a go-to platform should combine the channels from Discord; the sticker support, markdown support, and reply feature from Telegram; the ability to message over not just WAN, but also LAN and Bluetooth from Briar, and interoperability with SMS of iMessage, in a cross-platform, FOSS app.
