Title. What networks/channels stand out to anyone who’s been using IRC?
I first started using IRC in 2013, and from there met essentially all of my internet friends that I still have in some capacity on other platforms. In 2015/2016, though, Discord quickly took my frequented channels off of freenode, so I stopped going on as I used to.
Considering what happened to freenode in recent years, I’m left wondering where to find active channels (outside of libera). I’m down for music, fitness, news, and spirituality channels, to name a few, anything tech I can likely get to libera for.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@beehaw.org
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Its not the answer you want but I’d look into matrix over going backwards to IRC.
Yeah and besides, most if not all IRC servers have Matrix bridges.
