i mean, i hope people remember that slack had an irc bridge and it was awesome. i used to use irssi there was no linux slack app.
Yes. That's why I was using the IRC bridge.

Twitch chat also uses IRC
So does the online multiplayer for Worms: Armageddon, ChanServ and all.

One of my all time favorite sites on the interenet, I am glad there is an archive version. IRC and being ASCII only had their benefits. These days, Discord displacing IRC, for most people who even have PCs, there is a much different vibe of re-posting meme pics and gifs, or even youtube videos.

How interesting - I'm British, and I got the joke immediately. Yet, I'd hardly move my mouth if someone asked me to put on a frown. I'd never really thought about that one before.

Sorry, I don't get it!
