We (at least many developers and some users) actively use Slack at https://gluster.slack.com
While I agree that it's not a free/open alternative to IRC, it does get many questions answered, and also gets communication happen related to the project.

Amar

I'm relatively new to the community but I would vote for having a point
of presence on libera.chat, or OFTC as some other F/OSS projects are
moving there as an alternative. I use IRC daily for supporting my own
projects as well as related projects such as GlusterFS. Personally I
hadn't heard of Matrix until the whole Freenode fiasco happened, so I
would imagine others may be in the same boat. Anyway, just my $0.02 :)
