We had issues with the IRC bridge software, it leaked hundreds of millions of rows in the database and brought down our matrix server. Not to mention the matrix <--> irc bridge software has lots of usability problems -- it attempts to force matrix norms on IRC channels (IRC users: 😡🤮), instead of forcing IRC norms on a matrix channel.
If you want to talk to us but you cannot access matrix for whatever reason, you can use Fedi or email us. forest@sequentialread.com
Ultimately, I would recommend to simply use matrix if you can. You can get various different kinds of clients from browser-based to even ones that run in the terminal! If you send us an email stating what username you want & why you want to talk with our community, we will create you an account :) https://cyberia.club/matrix
