IRC isn’t accessible by most people. It discriminates based on technical knowledge, which isn’t necessarily bad because it leads to mostly people with some level of education or intelligence (on average) finding it.
- UncleOxidant 6y agoI don't think it's that hard to use IRC. I've certainly run into some non-tech folks on IRC. But yes, I guess it does tend to be more exclusive and maybe that's not a bad thing.
- IgorPartola 6y agoIt’s not hard to use. But it’s not a one click signup that everyone knows how to use. It’s sort of how “the dark web” isn’t hard to use but your grandma isn’t on there and wouldn’t know where to start, let alone why she’d want to be on there.
