fraggleCreated in 1988 by Jarkko Oikarinen in Finland, IRC was designed to enable real-time, text-based communication over the internet. Inspired by the multi-user talk programs on UNIX systems, Oikarinen wanted a system that was more flexible and scalable.IRC quickly became the backbone of online communities in the 90s and early 2000s, hosting discussions ranging from programming and hacking to gaming and general socializing. Unlike modern chat services, IRC was entirely decentralized—anyone could set up a server, create channels, and communicate without corporate control.Though its popularity has declined with the rise of modern platforms, IRC still thrives among enthusiasts, open-source communities, and privacy advocates who prefer its lightweight, no-nonsense approach to online chat.<a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/irc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IRC</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/internethistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InternetHistory</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/oldschooltech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OldSchoolTech</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/decentralization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Decentralization</a>

2somethingAs an IRC user, I believe that so-called "Signalgate" is evidence that emoji reactions should not be used on any important communication. If the Trump Administration had used IRC, then the journalist in their chat would not have been able to access all their messages: he would only have seen those sent while he was online. Instead, they used Signal, which has chat history, allowing the journalist to see their entire conversation. So why didn't they use IRC? Obviously, it's because they wanted Emoji reactions. Everyone who uses Signal instead of IRC does it because they want Emoji reactions. There is no other conceivable reason that anyone would ever choose a non-IRC messaging platform, since Emoji reactions are the only feature IRC lacks. Anyone who tells you they chose Signal for a different reason is lying. The Trump administration put a higher value on emoji reactions than they did on journalists not being able to see their communication. <a href="https://transfem.social/tags/IRC" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IRC</a>

FeohI think the reason <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/irc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#irc</a> is so incompatible with some younger folks is that it's Slow Chat.Like, we all work and have lives, we log onto the chat, answer some questions, chat some, maybe ask one of our own, and then wander away again.I feel like easily 99% of the traffic on most Libera channels I see is like:n00b: HEY HOW DO I DO $THING? If you're gonna rock onto IRC, and PLEASE do, welcome! You've got to be willing to hang for a bit :) Treat it like an exercise in zen or something :) You'll be glad you did.
