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