@smitty I miss IRC. Discord is close, but not quite.

@LB0FI IRC is still there. That’s the great thing about a protocol, you can’t kill it. :-)

@smitty Absolutely, but the core of any service or protocol is the users, and they're not there.

@LB0FI so the thing you miss is the community you had on IRC back then. Where is that community now? Is there a way to get them back? Maybe find them on mastodon? Twitter? Discord? Or, stand up an isolated IRC server and point them all back at it? ;-)

@LB0FI my point is, think of it as the community, not the technology, and you might find other ways to get it back. Or, maybe it’s scattered to the winds and you will find another community.
