IRC never died. Join us. All the HTTP-alikes (gemini, etc) are cool but you can achieve the same thing on the actual web just by actually making a website in HTML. There are still plenty of actual websites out there. You just won't ever encounter links to them from within the walled gardens. And in their own more benign way, gemini and the like are walled gardens. Hiding in small niche protocol communities isn't going to "fix" things. As for finding others: you have to surf. And that's something people don't do anymore generally. Google becoming crap has made it harder but it's still possible. We need a new searchlores for the modern era.
