Okay laundry list here.. End to End encryption  bridge to IRC  bridge to Slack  bridge to Gitter  run your own Matrix ""Homeserver"" (Synapse and several others  with ""Dendrite"" coming soon). i.e.  Someone enters your IRC channel and posts a message. It immediately appears in your Matrix room and by virtue of that  in your Gitter and Slack channels as well  and vice versa. Manage it all with your Riot Client! The next evolution in secure communications - Android/Linux/Windows/OSX/iOS/Voice/Video with file sharing across all the bridges and very soon  screen sharing too - replaces Signal  Whatsapp  Skype  and other centralized encrypted systems and integrates with almost all of the major communication systems. *And... It's 100% FOSS.* Take it from #tallship: I highly recommend with five 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 stars! ⛵
