Anyone on IRC? What are some active and good networks and channels out there?

Title. What networks/channels stand out to anyone who’s been using IRC?

I first started using IRC in 2013, and from there met essentially all of my internet friends that I still have in some capacity on other platforms. In 2015/2016, though, Discord quickly took my frequented channels off of freenode, so I stopped going on as I used to.

Considering what happened to freenode in recent years, I’m left wondering where to find active channels (outside of libera). I’m down for music, fitness, news, and spirituality channels, to name a few, anything tech I can likely get to libera for.

  • I have a T500 on Mint that I don’t use as much atm, due to being on an M1 MacBook Air. My ideal future setup, though, is a desktop with Linux and another PC for windows for software I can’t get on it, so there’s no issue for dual-boot partitions that I’ve increasingly seen being a thing with Windows.

  • Much better than before, I’d imagine. I haven’t used it for that long but I find it really smooth and nice to use, I haven’t had any issues, really.

  • Everything's gotta be a political statement to these people, I guess they have little to strive for otherwise.
