So many good memories on IRC. I miss it so much. Discord just isn't the same.

[–] Ryumast3r@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

IRC still exists. You can just like... do it.

Yeah, and talk to the two bots and one person who's been idle for 6 days.

It's mostly this unless you go to a popular server on a linux channel. I did that recently from windows 3.11, and it was just like the good old days

I was never really on the IT channels, so that wouldn't do it for me. I was big on #ProAudio (back in the days when I did that for a living) and #Atheism and #Indiana to meet local people. Nobody on any of those channels on any of the nets I used to be on, if those themselves even exist.

The ones surrounding popular open-source projects are often quite active.
