Automattic has added Beeper to their project roster that includes Wordpress, WooCommerce, Penpot and more.
As an open source project based on Matrix, with packages available for Linux… I think this ensures the future for a viable messaging app on our platform of choice.
This will further augment the use of Matrix, which may not be the best protocol for the job as others have commented in the past, but it’s better than proprietary alternatives, and a great starting point.

I’m not 100% sure how this relates to Beeper, but from what I gather it’s based on Matrix so I guess it’s the same deal.
that’s about the official IRC bridge, but Heisenbridge is a third party that is still allowed. The only downside is you need to self-host Matrix and Heisenbridge, which is a no-go for me. I think I saw beeper promoting that they bridge to IRC but apparently they no longer do
Afaik you only need to selfhost the bridge, it can use their Matrix server. Makes it much simpler.
any bridge that uses Appservice requires a self-hosted Matrix server
