+1 for IRC for me. Unfortunately I got a new ISP and libera has my IP blacklisted so I am limited to freenode. As soon as I am unbacklisted I will join the channel on libera. I tried to join zulip again some time ago but it required admin approval. I think the only better alternative would be GNUchat? :)
