The "modern" answer is "don't do that". There is a time to play social games, there is a time to do what you are doing, and you should spend some time talking to yourself too.
- saagarjha 7y agoAnswering a valid usability question with unsolicited suggestions on how someone should structure their social life isn't very helpful.

- astrobe_ 7y agoJust because it is not the answer you were expecting doesn't mean it is useless. People that give you what you ask for are not always your best friends.
- esyir 7y agoNot fulfilling user requirements however, just means that your product is bad. Thus the success of discord.
- technoplato 7y agoI agree with the sentiment of this answer. While I think it could have been said better, we all need to quit feeling the need to have everything so perfectly connected all the time and feeling frustration when our tech gets in the way.
- na85 7y agoActually, the modern answer is "use something other than IRC", which is partly why Discord became so popular with gamers. The answers to changing user tastes is not to proclaim their tastes are wrong. That's the attitude displayed by a lot of IRC server operators and prolific IRC users, and it's that refusal to adapt that's driving IRC into obsolescence. Maybe those people are ok with an ever-dwindling userbase, and if so that's great. But I'd like to see a Renaissance of IRC to the detriment of proprietary walled gardens like slack and Discord.
