Remember that we are talking about accessibility, so the more images and animations and sound you have, the LESS accessible it is.
Also we're not comparing IRC and slack, but slack used from an IRC client and slack used from an electron client.
Perhaps you didn't completely understand what I was saying?
> Mobile app (for both android and ios) that provides access to all of those features
Nothing stops you from using all the clients you want? Again, I suspect you don't fully understand the thing you're hating on so hard.
> Accessible web application, that provides access to all of those features
Slow, and I'd like a disabled user to comment on that. Also not all features work on firefox.
> Voice calls
Doesn't work, but are you really claiming voice calls are more accessible than text? Have you asked a deaf person how they feel about voice calls?

Works fine. Ok I realise you didn't read my comment and are just raging for no reason because you read "IRC" and got mad.
> A support for sharing images and files
Worksk fine with localslackirc. You can directly pipe the output of commands into channels
> Rich and granular permission system, suitable for a large organisation
> Webhook-based integrations
> A rich ecosystem of existing corporate integrations (like calendar integrations)
> Adding guests to channels, or bridging channels between servers
> Well documented and rich API
> Enterprise support
??? This has absolutely nothing to do with the client??
> Rich text formatting
Not supported
> Can easily share code blocks
Works fine, they're saved into text files
> Built-in OAuth/OIDC integration, that makes it easy to put it behind a company proxy.
Works fine with any authentication
> User statuses, avatars, metadata (like real name or team name), timezone-awareness
Avatar not supported, metadata is supported
> Search (!) with history, accessible for any device
Doesn't work, but it's of course accessible with other clients
> Project management features (lists etc)
If you do your project managing on slack, I'm glad I don't work with you :D
I'm also glad I don't work with someone who just reads 1 word and gets triggered into an OT rant, to be honest.
