There’s been quite a bit of talk about partitioning channels. And the #lesswrong sidechannels sort of handle it. But it’s nowhere near as good. I’m starting to have ideas for a Slack-style interface in a terminal… but that would be a large project I don’t have time for.
IRC has this function also, but the affordances for using it are not as good. I think Slack is an upgrade to the IRC interface on almost every axis.

I haven’t tried it, but this looks like it could be useful for that project: https://github.com/evanyeung/terminal-slack
