IRC

I want to belong.
What are good IRC channels?

IRC seems like the place to go to find a programming/cyberpunk/etc community.
It just feels like I missed the boat by being born a little too late.
How does one get started with IRC?
Downloaded the client, installed it, joined #salt, but i swear I don't know what the hell I'm looking at and what to do.

Join #templeos on Rizon for occasional Terry or general tech discussion. #Sup Forumspunk is pretty active but it's basically just shitposting. Last time I was on they were having a 25 minute long political "debate" about transgenders.

Every time, never again

Post something about the subject that's worth talking about.

IRC is dead.
What is happening on every channel.
People just idle and don't want to talk to you or anyone else.
I don't know what happened but at some point in time it became cool to be on irc 24/7 and not say anything.

Why not starting your own irc channel where inactivity gets booted ?

haven't used irc since the good days on dalnet

Because nobody wants to chat.
Its even prevalent in discord servers,people are online but they never say a word.
Its like talking to a wall.

That seems more of an issue of the servers you join. For discord I've noticed either people all tend to get on around the same time depending on the time zone most people in the server are in or they are always on and talking but its fill with degenerate kids.

yes well good luck finding talkative irc channels.

Have you ever considered that maybe no one wants to talk to _you_?
It doesn't surprise me honestly, you sound like an entitled whiny little bitch.

#Sup Forumspunk
#Sup Forumssec
#etc

#Sup Forumsftp on rizon. We're talking about soup right now.

any good xdcc channels you fucks know of

irc.abjects.net
irc.criten.net

what htey got

in other words, irc channels are a circlejerk. let me tell you the evolution of any group hiding behind aliases.
situation 1
>lots of like-minded people talking about the subject the group was created for
>some of them can't handle being wronged
>said users creates their own "friendship" circles, they troll as a group
>group quickly devolves into a dickwaving contest
>circles of trolls starts trolling each other
>users interested in the topic at hand gets pissed at the lack of content, leave the group behind
>said group is nothing but a drama arena, troll triggering troll until there is no troll left to run off
>one of them becomes close to the administration, which destroys all other trolls
>group dies

situation 2
>same as above, but the users grows attached to each other, making it a circlejerk that only talks with themselves and about themselves
>nothing about the topic the group was created for is talked about
>the group is now a shell of its older form

situation 3
>lots of like-minded people talking about the subject the group was created for
>some of them can't handle being wronged
>said users creates their own "friendship" circles, they troll as a group
>the admin is aware such users destroys communities, so he kickbans them
>entire group goes against the admin, forking the group
>the drama makers have been wiped, the quality posters are content with this
>sometimes the drama makers raids the group, but that is quickly taken care of
>the quality posters run out of things to talk about
>group dies

tl;dr group chats of any kind are shit, happens in communities of retro vidya too, its sad.

>cyberpunk community
Neck yourself, normie.

All of these retards in this thread saying that IRC users only idle are probably only using huge channels on huge networks like freenode or something. Regularly converse with channels of around 15-75 people on various niche topics, especially on the niche networks. Just gotta know where to go, and it does help if you've been there for awhile.

>normie

Who are you quoting?

>hello?
>From this one simple statement, I have ascertained that you are an entitled whiny bitch not worth talking to. You actually literally fucking came into an IRC channel and said "hello?" and nothing else. I can't even, I'm literally shaking right now when I realize what kind of person you must be.
lol?

>prolonged arguing about wether or not traps are gay on a Sup Forums irc
Color me suprised

JESUS FUCK
who pissed in your ass Cheerios?
Go fucking do some sit-ups fatass.

this.. all the way. IRC is fucking dead. This happened short after they gave access to computers to every Tom, Dick, and Harry.

It's just like HAM radio. Just a bunch of autistic spergmasters that circle jerk and get startled if a leaf blows into their circle and changes their environment.


IRC by itself is fantastic. Low resource requirement, you can send and receive files. But you have to essentially run your irc server by yourself and talk to people you know in real life. Otherwise it's just a bunch of fucking retarded monkeys that never talk to humans IRL and have no idea how to communicate.

I'm thinking about creating an IRC for my university, where should i host it for free? I will share the server on the wall with only the address of the server and the name of the channel to filter the normies.

IRC is fucking degenerate, not because of the protocol itself but the people who use it, like the op, most people don't even talk they just idle, fuck knows why

#baot

Take a look at this XDCC search engine
ixirc.com/

Smaller channels are more active, large channels are typically full of idle leachers.

but everything you do with a girl is by definition no-homo, user

Just lurk nigger, there is a gazillion channels in a gazillion servers. There is a channel search function on your IRC client, USE IT!

It used to be a file sharing app , people went on IRC to download files.

It's still up?
I remember it died for some reason

Nah, the OP went missing for some time but we carry on. Legit the channel has a lot of chat to this day.

#homescreen on rizon has literally none of the issues mentioned in the thread.

>homescreen
what do they talk about :^)

best client coming through
tools.suckless.org/sic/

I havent seen a picture of sic but I suspect is lacking of features like tabs.

#cloveros irc.rizon.net

are you illiterate?

What's the best IRC client and why is it Konversation 2.0?

lolololol

you can easily see it desu
just get dl.suckless.org/tools/sic-1.2.tar.gz
edit config.def.h
change prefix in config.mk to ~/.local
and make clean install

you should also have this in .profile or .bash_profile:

if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
fi

#dontjoinitsatrap @rizon

Whats a good IRC client for android?

andchat

it's basically ok except for there's 2 liberals there that have to go on about drumpf being awful and how free speech needs to have limits 24/7.

RevolutionIRC from fdroid

Any good distributed ledger tech irc or programming in general? I new to IRC

I bet it can do pictures too I just hope it doesnt do emoticons.

Atomic from fdroid is legit good, can keep all the servers you want, all the channels you want.
