IRC is not exactly booming. Those who have fled during this exodus will probably not return. And trying to get people who don't already use IRC on board will be even more difficult.
- wizzwizz4 5y agoThey probably won't return. They're certainly not going to return to Freenode, though. IRC doesn't need to boom. The communities matter; IRC is just a protocol.
- yoz-y 5y agoAh yes, I meant return to Freenode. IRC need not be booming, but since it isn’t the "burn to the ground and rebuild" strategy will not work. As you said, communities is what matters and once they have moved they have little reason to return.
