Why miss them? They all still exist. I constantly have my IRC client open and connected to about two dozen channels on Libera (only about five that I actively monitor). Non-Reddit forums for various topics exist too, though, granted, not quite in the quantity that they used to.

- winternett 4y agoAhh, the good old days... When you'd refresh a page and stuff came right back in the same spot... lol
- winternett 4y agoIRC has shrunken dramatically in popularity now, the user base is a bit limited and topics of discussion are often narrow in focus. I think that's part of what I'm referring to with that as well. A dating app that starts with some form of topical (text based open group chat) IRC feature (shot text posts) would likely be a wise move in this current day and time... Or even a twitter clone based on dating profiles... hrmmm.... :P
