For some of us IRC never went away. It’s my primary social outlet, and I’m closing in on 30.

Maybe I’m a bit special as I moved countries a fair bit in my 20s, and making friends in adulthood is difficult.

Shameless plug; if you want to join us (we are roughly 400 people) then the network is ircs://irc.drk.sc:6697/#darkscience
