you are living in an alternate reality if you don't agree with the fact IRC is mostly dead.

no enterprise is using i seriously, chat platforms of course don't use it, and niche/hobbyists have long since moved to discord and reddit.

Of course there's holdouts, but I think it's fair to say 90 percent of IRC type chat hosts are dead/gone.

No surprise. I'd hate to use IRC for anything related to work.

Twitch still uses IRC.

Many popular open-source projects, gaming groups, youtube channels, and forums still use IRC.
