I visited a university recently and brought up IRC in a conversation. Some students did not know what it was and some said “that’s for old people”. So, that’s the genz perception. I wonder to what extent that’s true.. what proportion of IRC users on the notable networks are genz.

I have doubts, because it seems there are still snot nose trolls demonstrating that children are still around. But it would be interesting to have some reliable stats.

As someone who's used IRC for probably a decade, I mean... kinda?

Realistically a bunch of stuff happens on Discord and whatnot instead now, which sucks because centralizing things on proprietary platforms is a bad idea anyway, and then it's Discord.
