I've just made young friends of mine aware of Internet Relay Chat. They are so excited that we will be using IRC as a Communications protocol.

I have accounts on different server networks which are still thriving
I remember the wonderful Eggdrop bot running on the AmIRC channel on Dalnet

Thanks for the boost! Man, #DALnet... that's a name I haven't heard in a long time!

Of course, stuff like TeX have an important role to fill, and markdown has some serious limitations.

But for casual writing and notetaking, markdown is pretty wonderful.

I'm so glad that plain text won the format wars!!! XD

@gregly what you don't know can and does hurt you - cancer, autos, electricity, now home appliances are welcomed to the party. actually the fcc/ftc/sec and consumer reports/media do a good job in reporting issues and you can always file a class action if you feel neglected #whirlpool mirc chat #dalnet

@miah good points #dalnet

Aaaand a nostalgic, adrenalized generative AI enters the #macintosh IRC channel... 🤔

@ian Damn right. Though I hope they don't start having votes on it :)

We went through decades of this with #IRC, when #Eris forked off the main universe, to create #EFNet, then the major forks of #Undernet, #Dalnet and #IRCNet - I suppose the big difference here is that different servers can allow different functionality within the same galaxy.

We just need to bring back #SixDegrees and the only change we need to make on it, is to make sure that the only post editor is #TECO

#BringBackTECO

Downloaded #mIRC to check if #DALnet #IRC servers are still up. Apparently, the #Manila channel is still "alive". I miss my IRC friends. 😔

@SheDrivesMobility linkedin ist wie frueher im #IRC, wenn du vom #efnet ins #dalnet wechseln "musstest" und ploetzlich alles kras bunt und bold face.

nothing will replace this bird app bc it was built before there were any expectations on what it was supposed to be. before metrics or investors. when it was just some dorks farting out code for funsies. see you losers on #mIRC #DALnet
