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.

But the gen Zers largely have a distaste for FOSS

this is not a generational thing at all. we foss people are the minority, and a very small one. unfortunate but that's the reality we're in.
