Want IRC now I know what it is (Internet Relay Chat) & what it does: so much more than chat/instant messaging, like file sharing, data transfer, etc.
Great story to it too: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC
Time to make a comeback 😁

I don’t think this is “Old man shouting at cloud” - it’s a different (more lively) way of being
& it’s good to read about it. 🙂 Expands our possibilities.

Pushed me to look up IRC (Internet Relay Chat) (seen the acronym often but never knew what it stands for, but pretty sure it wasn’t International Red Cross 🫢). Learn that it’s a “text-based chat system for instant messaging… designed for group communication in discussion forums [channels] but also allows one-on-one communication via private messages as well as chat and data transfer including file sharing.

Say it again: Expands our possibilities. 😁
