I'm still on IRC! There's a raw simplicity to it that I appreciate. You don't have to use a bloated Electron app to connect to a proprietary service, you can just go straight text on the protocol-level in terminal (if you're nuts), and the protocol is open and simple enough to understand that you can easily make your own client even if you're a lazy or mediocre dev.
So IRC, Lemmy, and I guess Instagram (if that counts)
What IRC servers still exist that allow random people like me to just join but have interesting people and channels and not just trolls and spam?
I second this question! I'd like to know some good servers with healthy communities.
Probably should not post those publicly, even on Lemmy.
Alternate question: how can we find interesting discussions on IRC?
Sad. Guess we just have to go through them
Do we though? We can just leave them alone and do something else.
Sorry--it was sarcasm.
