What is the replacement for IRC that the world is moving on to? Matrix? XMPP?

Personally all the people I want to talk to still use IRC, so I'll use it to.

The people/projects that care about an open ecosystem but want more than IRC are moving to Matrix, and those that don't are moving to Discord. In particularly basically every gaming community that used to be on IRC seems to be a discord now.

Element and Rocket Chat are decent.
