We focused on technical discussions on technical channels.
I’m sorry if you had a bad time on IRC, but as someone who cut their teeth on IRC in the early 90s, and got their career started through contacts made on IRC, what you describe couldn’t be further from the kind of technical communities I participated in.
- John23832 4y agoGreat, that's your experience. But I was sharing mine, and those of the other minorities I know very well.
- trogdor 4y agoHow do you know the experience of other categories of people very well?
- John23832 4y agoI don't. I only know my experience and the experience of other minorities, that I personally know well, who have convey their experiences to me.

There can only be one omnipresent IRC God, and you're talking to them. You can wipe your ass with your experience for all they care. My lord, the lack of self awareness...
- HideousKojima 4y agoMy experience was a lot of petty interpersonal drama instead of technical discussions, but very little about race.
