#3I think the author, Neozeed, is the person back in the day when I asked them to teach me how to "hack", they instead taught me what telnet was and that there was a larger network beyond AOL. It lead me to what I am today. Thanks.

Nice to read this kind of stuff!

If I may, I should point out that it says "I’m a guest poster" at the top pof the post. The author is not actually neozeed, but rather me. I'm very grateful for the opportunity I was given.
Maybe I should've made the authorship clearer in my submission, though.

Perhaps, but it’s a network services bot, which is very much a part of most IRC networks. Did you know they connect to the network as a server, not as a regular client like most irc bots?

#7irc is so useful that i cant believe it is dying, and aside from freenode perhaps even dead.
so what killed the IRC? its not like theres any other alternative out there. slack seems to come close but its still very different and for a different purpose.

Gamers moved from Quakenet to Discord, open source projects moved from Freenode to Slack, and that’s it.
Luckily, most projects are left on Freenode, as an open source project relying on a proprietary service is something few people can stomach (outside of some people that already accepted the commercialization of the net)

We use IRC sort of interchangeably with Slack at my work. The nice thing about IRC is you can host it on-premise and Slack doesn't have all of your company's confidential information. The downside is that it doesn't come bundled with a pretty webapp with GIFs and emojis.

At work we have an onsite Zulip instance which meets both those requirements for us (including SSO integration). It's surprising to me that there aren't more places using it.
