I don't understand why so many technical people equate monopoly with success. I use IRC every day.
- numpad0 3y agoI hate Electronification, WebNonsensification, Discordification, ... as much as the next guy, but median user age incrementing every year for past 10+ years -> fail to me.
- mech422 3y agoMe as well... I actually like that IRC is less 'noisey' then most social media (I generally only hang on a few low volume channels) with no 'feed' being shoved at me, no algorithm deciding what I 'should' see. I bop into more popular channels as needed, but for general use, I find the self-directed nature of IRC to be the 'perfect social media' for me...eg I see only what I'm interested in.
