I've tried to get into IRC but the public servers have so many dead channels. On the one channel I did find active someone called me a racial slur because I use Windows.
I wish there were more people using these alternative, somewhat decentralized services that weren't just tech people. Whenever I see some cool new fediverse technology or alternative protocl (e.g gemini), 99% of the conversation is just people talking about the technology itself. I originally joined facebook because I had friends on there, not so we could talk about the tech behind facebook
- robobro 3y agoClassic irc! Idling is very much a key aspect of the irc culture.
- spacebuffer 3y agothese are channels I found to be active and had cool people: - #darkscience on the darkscience server - #linux and #indieweb on libera.chat - #talk on snoonet

- bifrost 3y agoAs one of the former opers in there, yeah, we talked about it a lot lol. If you go real deep I went to the same highschool as JKH so sometimes we'd talk about that too...
- 15457345234 3y agoWow I think I remember your username Were you on at the same time as Asym, Axthrower, Lefty, that black dude who was into photography (lol sorry), the girl who kept talking about her sbux investment performance... nitedog (?) I had op there for a while, I can't remember my username tho
- bifrost 3y agoYep, that was me.
- 15457345234 3y agofun times I had ops courtesy of that alternative bot Austin (?) ran - I remember there were like two competing bot systems and he liked me for some reason yeah some interesting conversations were had
- bifrost 3y agoYeah, there were two but for the most part there was administrative cooperation between groups. It was hard work keeping the trolls at bay and the Lunix spammers/users in check.
