These days, I only go to IRC when I have a specific purpose in mind. Some online groups [still] use it almost as a support channel. It [the way I use it now] is not like my days in uni when it was a popular form of "casual chat."
- lfowles 12y agoI'm still in many casual chat channels. The general topic ones are the best for this, not ones with a strict "Support/Devel for $PROJECT" mentality that shut down offtopic conversation immediately. It's also a matter of finding like minded individuals to chat with, which does seem harder than it was when I was in highschool a decade ago. Of course, I don't spend much time off of Freenode, for all I know, other networks are the equivalent of crossroads chat or an IRC version of /b/!
