@mWare@mstdn.ca No, why would I be judgy about using an open protocol that doesn't have the sword of Damocles of corporate enshittification dangling over it at all times?

I still use IRC, and more importantly, I still like IRC.

But even ignoring that, there are great alternative open options.

@ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu Actually I was just testing if you remember #SPORKS - it actually still exists although the numbers and activity is quite low now, its peak has passed.

@mWare@mstdn.ca I have not used SPORKS, might have been before my time, as IRC was the thing when I finally got online.

@ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu I was referring to the #SPORKS IRC channel (on mWtNet), was full of a bunch of UFies, although it's entirely possible you're a different dfranke with similar interests, ooops?

@mWare@mstdn.ca That seems likely, as I was never on mWtNet... :)

@ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu Indeed; well then, hello fellow techy. Sorry for the identity confusion. Can a make amends for awkwardness with a catpic?
