24 alternatives to Localslackirc – Lets you use IRC to connect to slack

I made this because I can't stand the slack interface. IRC clients are fast instead of slow, and do not display GIFs and memes automatically (I can still click to open them). I can configure notifications. I can configure it to not mention me when "@here" is typed by certain people or on certain channels. It's just much quieter and easier to handle overall.
