@inktvis75 @aurynn tbh IRC has always been 'alive' as much as it can be. Jabber never fully took off for mainstream social interaction (XMMP protocol itself however has been more successful), and Matrix stepped in.
Overall protocols and communities are who drives current development. So ActivityPub is here to stay. How Fediverse evolves remains to be seen.

@peteriskrisjanis @aurynn yes IRC is still there, but id I compare it with the time that I was there every day, more then 20 years ago… It is almost dead. I still visit it from time to time.
Oh men, i am getting old…

@inktvis75 @aurynn tbh we at work use IRC as reliable RPC / distributed message system for our software projects.
But overall, things evolve. I feel though Fediverse and ActivityPub is in very good place technical growth wise. I think this will be some time before something better comes along.
