Arguments for/against running my own #IRC channel? My understanding is it's a big responsibility and a lot of effort (especially if public and popular). What are the essential things to consider?

Matrix server is more private/secure since chats and rooms can be set up to use end to end encryption. IRC chats are secured (afaik) only in transport with TLS while Matrix chats are secured with TLS and with private keys of devices. Hosting Matrix server might be problem in terms of performance, it depends on how many people you intend to use it.
