How do people get "involved" in IRC these days?

Everyone just uses discord now.

"Gamer girls" and Streamers use Discord.
Name one respectable group that uses Discord instead of IRC.

You can have 500 nerds in an IRC channel but none if them will ever talk, IRC is just an idling competition these days

Only faggots willingly use discord.

Discord is for avatarfags

>install bsd
>install irssi
>/server irc.rizon.net
>/join #baot

>no one wants me in their closed group so people arent respectable
Pick any cryptominer/trader group, they all sit on Discord. The only thing IRC is good for nowadays is XDCC.

>using a full-blown web browser just for chat

>Everyone just uses discord
Nope. Only niggers use those.

discord is new irc

>what is freenode
>what is rizon

discord is where kiddies with their newfound ahegao pictures go to have some giggles

Discord is for people with friends.

if you're gay and 13

i've met more intelligent people on irc than on any forum ever

The only active IRC channel I know of is the Channel for "The Dick Show" podcast

>tfw you need a bot or you will miss 95% of the conversations on IRC

That's honestly not saying much.

You mean a bouncer?
If it's not important, then it doesn't matter if you see some personal drama or whatever or it was or not. If it's important, then people will tell you about it anyway. Just like in real life.

Discord is shit. Who cares?

>cryptominer/trader
>respectable
lol @ investing into ponzi-tier schemes

>Everyone just uses discord
True. Everyone expect people on Slack.

All the while Discord is cuckware, but I find it sad that the IRC communities I were in years ago are nothing now and I haven't been able to find more communities since.

Look at bitcoin price change over last 12 months, brainlet. It's currently 5k up compared to this time last year with basically constant up trend (with some downs). Major banks started getting interested in cryptos. Give me example of single investment that would be as profitable as this over last 12 months.
That aside, many of those discord trading groups are a scam where whales make a profit of a bunch of retarded newfags.

/thread

People who user IRC are there for tech support/development, which is totally acceptable and should be encouraged imho.
The rest are idlers that want /muh secret & comfy club/, but this isn't 2004 anymore.

>wahhh why do people use the more streamlined solution

need to know basis

fuck off to r/my_litte_anime_discord

>bloated inefficient complex webshit
>streamlined

None of the kids using it care about that. It even distracts them when loading using stupid phrases.

I'm using the browser for most of my activities so why run another program just for chat?

this

Don't get people involved with IRC, keep IRC elitist so it doesn't get ruined by normalfags

>muh super sekrit klub

Iunno. Been on there since 2009. Opered on Rizon for a few years.
It's still pretty cool. If you're lucky, you'll actually find a channel that's both alive and not shit.

>Give me example of single investment that would be as profitable as this over last 12 months.
lmao, you dont see anything wrong with that?

More mainstream it is, the worse it gets. I can already tell you're the kind of undesirable that will be told to fuck off if they didn't let every single retard in.

>all of those kids, thinking they're better than their classmates because they don't engage in social interactions on popular chat system

it's nice to see that fedora never dies

>not using TLS
Fuckbucket.

Anything wrong with what?
Also you didn't answer my question.

IRC is like ICQ while Discord is Facebook Messenger

discord is like the reddit of irc, except in another year or so the fuckers will just jump ship to the latest meme messaging app

I see only positives about this? Who wants to go into the Reddit /r/trees discord to be flooded out of the channel by normie teenagers

Not to mention, discord and slack are using 1.4GB of ram at any given moment because they're all just bloated chromium.

I'll stick with my COMFY IRC using 62MB of RAM on my Raspberry Pi.

>I'll stick with my COMFY IRC using 62MB of RAM on my Raspberry Pi.
That's enormous just for IRC.

>be OP
>here about this awesome "IRC" thing hackers use
>want to try it out
>can't figure out how to use it
>cry about it on Sup Forums

Maybe if you stopped being a moron you would realize there are still plenty of active IRC communities. Just get on rizon and join some of the top channels. Chances are you'll meet someone you like.

how do i make friends?
im too shy to ever say anything in discord

People that use discord aren't worth being friends with

Just make your normie friends use Mumble instead of Discord

If you are already using your browser for everything, why running another browser just for chat?

uses less memory to run said other program

>cryptominer/trader group
He said "respectable", not "retarded".

IRC has long run its little gay course and burnt out as nothing interesting has been said on it for the past 20 years. That's because it's a collection of losers all trying to out-loser each other and always has been. There's no "communication" on IRC, admins realized where the ban and kick buttons are in the 80s and have been repeating their stupid, wrong circlejerk horseshit since that time. Go into any IRC and you're going to be drowned in 20 if not 30 year old inside jokes that only 3 or 4 people know and sadly they don't even themselves know the original meaning except to repeat it. All of these "invitations" to IRC is just more losers trying to exert their thought control on you as the only way they've "communicated" in the past 3 decades has been to repeat bullshit, wait for someone to disagree slightly, then ban them. If you want to talk about reddit, IRC is actually more reddit than reddit. Split reddit up into a trillion worthless shitty 3-8 person channels who have all banned each other already and you have IRC. This is why you see this "idling competition" shit happen - it's literally the only way not to get banned as the admins assume you agree with them due to silence.

No thanks I have enough memory I'm not *that* poor

nice original pasta, may I borrow it?

Did someone ban you on IRC because you were being a trolling little shit?

So?
Do you want me to help you to use Discord or what?

Only IRC shits find themselves this far into the information age still somehow being lonely. That's how you know you're really fucked. But it's ok, I'm sure some hipsters will join your shit channel for all the wrong ironic reasons so you can ban them 30 minutes in and be alone again

the only reason i've had to use IRC in {{{current year}}} was to XDCC some anime after Nyaa went down.

That's entirely true but people who are cool can fit in anywhere. Only the turbo autists spill spaghetti on something as simple as IRC.

>watching animemes in teh current year
ahahahah
the only reason I had to watch anime in {{{le current year}}} was because I've got crippling depression
