> A few fates that I’ve avoided, barely: one is joining the Nineties Internet Re-Enactment Society, where communities scrabble to re-inforce the dominant vibe of — what, two? three? years maximum? — the early networks. I mean, I still have it in my habits — my dinky RSS reader, my affinity for plain text, email. A co-worker described watching me work as “like someone playing one of those adventure games”. I can see it.

My daughter says that Discord is IRC for young people, Slack is IRC for old people, and IRC is for people who can’t get out of their chair.

in reply to Christine Lemmer-Webber • • •I use #Bibuomi ( #IRC to #XMPP gateway ) to access whatever IRC channel ( or network for that matter ) I need to ..
So .. basically, hum .. no, I don't get that much chair time because I do IRC from my phone using #Conversations
Pretty cool actually 😎
