- dangus 7y agoYou have to be in a thick bubble separated from all the teens in the universe to think that IRC can do even 10% of what Instagram/Snapchat/TikTok/Facebook are capable of doing. Facebook in particular is nearly an operating system.
- noobermin 7y agoThe replacement for IRC these days is discord. It's not like we can't do IRC again, it just isn't as visible for people who's only experience with installing a program is through an app store.
- duskwuff 7y agoIRC is not social media. It is, at best, an instant messaging protocol -- and one which fails to meet most of the modern-day requirements for such a protocol, e.g. first-class support for persistent identities, offline messaging, and chat history; end-to-end encryption; support for non-textual content... etc.
