I miss the old IRC.
I do mean it, the world of emojis and stickers and selfies is too vibrant for me; IRC wasn't recorded, it was text, private and I do miss it. Still using it for IT and Open Source, but not for private stuff any more, because private friends refuses to use it.

- tomtoise 11y agoMuch easier to plausibly deny it was you in IRC, with Snapchat etc, it's much harder to deny that you sent the photograph of yourself from your mobile device.
- HeavyStorm 11y agoSo the point is that it isn't graphic, but text only. Nothing to do with recording. Which is a big point... Snapchat can erase images, it doesn't matter. People can still capture them in other ways.
- lmm 11y agoIRC has a protocol for avatar photos. Some clients will even download/display them automatically. And a lot of clients render emojis these days.
- pmlnr 11y agoIf by emoji you mean the unicode table, yes, you're right.
