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.

it's extremely good and it has every feature that it needs.

it comes from the era of the internet that developed communication protocols instead of proprietary for-profit software applications running on an electron gui or whatever.

    Every popular chat client since IRC has been IRC plus whatever feature was seen as needed.

    I'm old enough that I met my wife on IRC. A younger coworker of mine once said of modern chat "you can only reskin Slack so many ways." He was right but got one word wrong.
