Flame out on IRC

Flame out on #drupal-seattle IRC (6/15/2016)
[17:53] {jwalling} Is IRC dead?
[17:55] {jwalling} Walking dead IRC
[17:56] {jwalling} With so many alternatives, (Slack Gitter etc.) IRC is becoming a ghost town.
[18:01] {jwalling} For example, you need a playbook to participate in BackdropCMS discussions https://backdropcms.org/resources
[18:02] {jwalling} Is it going to get worse before it gets better?
[18:03] {jwalling} It reminds of the old TV days when you had 3 networks, now there are 5000 channels on 100 media, with more every day
[18:04] {jwalling} niches have niches have niches have niches ad nauseum
[18:06] {jwalling} f*ck it
[18:10] {mikeytown2} It sure seems dead
[18:26] {M-John} I've switched over to Matrix.org
[18:27] {M-John} I'm on this channel via vector.im
[18:28] {freelock-m} Matrix is at least free, open source, and attempting to bridge all the networks ;-)
