Why don't you just use IRC?

>>108087667

I do and have been for decades. you can go away now.

>>108087667
Because nobody outside of neckbeard tech circle uses it.

its hostile, a closed garden, a click, a technical headache, no room actively wants fresh blood.

its own users killed it, good job neckbeards.

I want more people to use IRC.

>>108089008
in that case, can you recommend some cool networks and channels? but PLEASE for the love of pepe NO ANIMEFAG OR VRFAG TORRENTS just cool place where people actually talk
>>
>>108089463
Not OP but https://qchat.rizon.net/?channels=/vt/&uio=d4 if you like vtubers (or #/vt/ @ irc.rizon.net on your IRC client), https://qchat.rizon.net/?channels=fightan&uio=d4 if you like fighting games (or #fightan @ irc.rizon.net on your IRC client). There's also tonnes of other channels on Rizon. Just do /list on it.

Because they quickly devolve into an incomprehensible blur of individual conversations. 4chan is much better for conversation.

Came to say that. Saved me the bother.

>>108089008
I don't.
Look at what you did to the rest of the internet.
It's one of the few things that is still what it was.
>>
>>108089463
>just cool place where people actually talk
Define 'cool'.
Also, talk about what? 'places that people talk' will put you anywhere. Typically it's sorted by topic.
>>
>>108089533
>incomprehensible blur of individual conversations
Main reason why I use Discord instead of IRC. The context between messages is kept.
>>
>>108089502
so.. the contents of sorted /list is mostly those file sharing bot channels. less prevelent - programming languages related. maybe it also depends on time of day
>>108089705
like you know... 4chan boards but without images and in realtime
>>
>>108087667
No one replies, it's like they just have their client open and connected for no reason at all lmao

Maybe I should move to India so I'm awake at the same time as you.

I'm definitely interested in it, but as a layman I really wish there was some guide for complete novices.

Reddit is better. Cant talk about porn there most of the time

Never been able to find an interesting, active channel.

I'd rather use a discord equivalent that's possible to self host, it's feature set is too good to go back to a pure text chat

The largest xdcc bot provider on rizon quit, even less of a reason to use it now.

They are too cliquey. No one has a good argument against making IRC anonymous by default.
>>
>>108094967
IRC doesn't work, and your solution is to create a new server that receives all the messages from IRC and serves them with a better protocol. Why not cut out the middle-man and use the better protocol all the time?

join networks and find the channels yourself. no one is going to blow up their spot.

IRC being inaccessible to normies is a GOOD thing. Discord is the perfect containment zone for them.
