Twitch.tv uses the IRC protocol for its chat system, and I find a lot of the same community feeling in those channels where I hang out regularly.
That was a quick delete. I am not motivated to try another FOSS chat for a while, at least the public instance.
For IRC, add a limiting interface, no feedback, bots, hassle with setting up your client because most default web ones suck and bouncer. It's not really worth it for me.
I forgot another thing, weird religious people, lot of people talking in the dark without anyone replying for hours and cryptonites...
I was born in the 90s so I never used IRC outside work. I used it for work on a daily basis until a couple weeks ago, and I hate it with passion. The vpn drops and you miss messages. You are offline you miss messages, don't want to miss messages? set up a relay (seriously?!). Now I'm on a team which uses slack, and I miss how lightweight hexchat is, but in terms of being able to use it my phone and having something t…

But I just know nobody, from a variety of OSes, who doesn't experience the "bug where slack completely looses where you are in time" and then you have to scroll for a while because the "Jump to new messages" doesn't work well. I came to the point where I wonder if anybody here doesn't have that bug at all ...
A bug that kills UX like that and that we can do nothing about, not even contribute a fix, and still it seems Slack is the best product people can find, meh, I run Mattermost in my company and we're all very happy with it and don't experience as much problems as we do with Slack.
Never really been anywhere but in tech channels on IRC, I had a few years without going back but I'm back and I love it.
I don't miss IRC much -- I actually miss the paragraphs-level chat systems with lightweight categories, like MIT Zephyr and Gale. They really encouraged deeper thought, in the way that an HN comment is often deeper than an IRC one, just by virtue of having more time to collect your thoughts and then getting to attach them to the right place. It's surprising that nothing like those systems lasted. I also miss ytalk, w…
MIT Zephyr inspired. Bought by Dropbox then divested.

I don't, because I'm still using it! Me and a few internet friends have a cozy little community, and usually hang out there daily. IRC isn't really dead at all as far as I'm concerned, just not as popular anymore. It's the same as with people who complain that there's no good music anymore, it's there, they just haven't found it.

Hey, that's my server! Weird seeing it mentioned by someone that isn't me
I miss IRC deeply. We had an internet with an amazing, people-run, free, chat network. And we replaced it with corporate things like facebook messenger/discord where you're the product.
