I've noticed some blog posts mentioning IRC communities. I personally haven't used IRC in ages and I'm curious about who is still using it and why. Examples welcome.

Daily by abstraction.

Twitch chat and discord text channels are pretty much IRC in disguise.

    IRC is an open source protocol, there are dozens of clients and entire networks of bots built on top of it.

    Twitch and Discord are walled gardens that are but a shadow of what IRC is.
