In the case of IRC though there's many IRC-to-X gateways that allow you
to somewhat have your cake and eat it too, e.g. there's one for
discord[1].

I haven't tried it, but I use another channel that has an
irc-to-Telegram (the app) gateway[2]. It works quite well. Aside from
the Freenode v.s. Librechat question I wonder if there'd be interest in
having such a thing running for #git or #git-devel.
