IRC was fine in the 90s, honestly things have moved on. It's not usable
without some kind of intermediary that makes it work disconnected, and
it's not searchable without having logging separately too. So hard pass
on IRC. I used to use it a lot, but decades ago, and even the use I
still have today is pretty miserable.

And probably rightfully so, but at least we have other suggestions in
the thread now which seem more tenable imho.
