Ask HN: IRC channels you frequent?
IRC has, for all intents and purposes, been replaced by Discord. In other words, a large number of communities I frequented have re-formed in Discord, and are much more active.<p>There&#x27;s still a few holdouts, but it&#x27;s usually just 3 or 4 good-ol-boys who haven&#x27;t left the server for 12 years.<p>It&#x27;s interesting to watch contenders like gitter, slack, mattermost, riot&#x2F;matrix, etc, falling to the rise of Discord, which was for gaming communities but now it&#x27;s like the reddit of chat servers.
