Anyone uses IRC? Why?

Learn [email protected]English • 6 months ago

I was exploring an obscure Linux distro when I noticed they’re contact page had an IRC client. You can connect to the IRC via Matrix, but the people there prefer pure IRC.

My question is do other programmers use IRC? Also why?

IRC is nice, but recently started chatting on XMPP, and I’m enjoying it just as much.

Posting Etiquette

Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.
Provide everything up front. Don’t make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.
Be present for follow up questions. Don’t ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.
Ask about the problem you’re trying to solve. Don’t focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/
