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.

If you're running the latest Debian (or even the stable one), IRC is still a good place to go for support. And there is an electronics channel on Libera that was still big last time I checked. If you don't know which IC to use for your project someone there will probably know. I would stick around there if I were still into electronics.

Also, IRC is just more relaxing by being text-only. No flashy avatars, pictures, reactions, and for most parts no gamification.
