I am very new into this chat applications and read about IRC and Matrix. Matrix seems its more new and modern. So I just wonder what's the reason you are still using IRC?

Hosted or client, there's IRC clients for everything, even on a Commodore 64 (https://csdb.dk/release/?id=197138)

Start by choosing a network, try something like Libera Chat https://libera.chat/

You have some suggestions for IRC clients on their page, you can even use one on the browser. Browse the channels available, join, chat
