IRC is just as relevant in 2022 as it was in 2012, 2002, and 1992. Social media may have made IRC networks thinner, but IRC is still as lively as any walled garden social media network.

Yes, 1992. I was in college & connected to IRC on its Unix network. It was my second online social experience, after isolated local BBS networks.
I've been away from IRC for too long, but I'm getting back in.
I'm arielmt on Furnet and Libera Chat.
I used to be on Freenode, but my reg expired long before its hostile takeover & subsequent implosion, & I'm not going back.
