There's a #news.yc channel on freenode, but it's been just me and one other guy for the past few months.

  You should try #startups, about 30 members on average.

    I realize this is a somewhat unpopular thing to say here, but I don't care about startups. I have little interest in being in a channel where that's the only thing people talk about. I'm here for the general tech news.

      The conversations on #startups are not always about startups at all, its just a bunch of people interested in startups hanging around, talking about all kinds of random stuff of interest to hackers in general.
