What kind of messaging apps do you use?

I have been cleaning my phone - removing Google Services, Google Account and replacing it with alternatives. Strangely, I do still have many very different messaging app. If I count correctly, there is Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Signal, Viber and also two local apps TakeUp and Mastadon. I am more and more returning back to SMS messages and normal encrypted e-mails.

What do you use most and is it normal, to have so many messaging apps and using them all for different people groups?

Email and sometimes irc. And old fashioned sms when needed.

IRC is still alive?

IRC will never die! I mean, it probably will eventually. It's still fairly popular with Linux users, and even stil preinstalled on some distros

Are there some websites or lists of interesting channels?
