Aren't discord/slack products of the last ~5 yrs? Were IRC channels actually active until then? The last I spent time on efnet was maybe early/mid 2000s.

- nine_k 3y agoDiscord started in 2013. Campfire from 37Signals started in 2006 or so. Web chats with immediate message availability started to spring up immediately after `document.write()` became a thing in browsers, around 1994; by 1996 I personally participated in several, all with different software stacks. This is not to mention instant messengers like ICQ / AOL / MSN, which largely replaced private IRC chats.
