KDE is officially using Matrix for collaboration within the community. Matrix is an open protocol and network for decentralized communication. It provides all the features you would expect from a modern chat system: infinite scrollback, file transfer, typing notifications, read receipts, etc. It even provides end-to-end encryption for privacy (for private conversations).
Furthermore, Matrix natively supports bridges to other protocols, such as IRC where KDE also has channels. This means that you can use a Matrix client to join and use IRC channels as if they were Matrix rooms.
Getting Started
See the "Try Matrix" page created by the Matrix Foundation, which has a walk-through of how to start chatting with Matrix. We have our own instance of Element Web hosted at webchat.kde.org.
