#liberachat not growing much after the collapse of #freenode ... it's #OFTC gaining a bit and hopefully many #selfhosted IRC networks (quit relying on centralised giants) https://netsplit.de/networks/top10.php
5 months later #liberachat reaches 50k users -- nowhere near the 90k users that old #freenode had. Likely just a net loss for #irc https://netsplit.de/networks/statistics.php?net=Libera.Chat
#LiberaChat at 45,138 users when checked. Nowhere near where #freenode was... before Lee sabotaged the whole thing. #IRC will hopefully enjoy a mass resurgence soon -- as a more decentralised set of protocols with distributed databases. There's WORK UNDERWAY towards this. https://netsplit.de/networks/top100.php
A Casio fx-Calculator, with open source fxIP installed, can literally connect to the Internet and do IRC chat
IRC as a real-time Internet chat network was always designed to be ultra light weight with the most minimum requirements on the client as well as server sides, which makes it ideal for small devices or where bandwidth is very constricted as there are no graphics, adverts, or algorithms. So yes it even runs on a calculator!
Of course, this also says something about Casio's extendibility, as the trend today is so often to just lock everything down.
fxIP is an open source TCP/IP stack and IRC client for Casio fx-9860/9750 calculators.

Our IRC channels have moved to Libera.Chat!
Of our various communication channels, IRC is the one with real-time communication. An "IRC channel" is a simple text-based chatroom - perfect for a quick chat that doesn't need to be stored for others.
IRC is not a new communication tool for diaspora*, we just moved from the freenode network to Libera.Chat. If you have already used our IRC channels in the past, please update your settings to our new location!
If you want to join the chat without downloading anything extra, just click the link below, enter your nickname, and start the chat!
https://web.libera.chat/#diaspora
If you use an IRC client, the new details are:
Server: irc.libera.chat
Port: 6697 (TLS)
Channel: #diaspora
We'd love to see some of you there!
Our primary place for all project discussions is still our Discourse, which is a great location to store all relevant discussions and give people the option to engage regardless of their time zones.
You can find an overview of all our communication channels here.
