does not suffer from desyncs

Not entirely true. IRC can have network splits (I believe they were referred to as netsplits if I remember correctly) where one network can drop out. You can notice this when you see like 50+ people leave a channel at the exact same time because the network they were on disconnected, it's kind of interesting imo lol but also I'm a nerd so maybe that's why I find it interesting.

it's not as big of an issue as on matrix.
stuff can desync and the server has to decide which state is canonical, dropping out some messages
