Bring back IRC and add a bridge to the Discord - gleb09 - 08-26-2021

Like how Hardfought links #hardfought on Libera.Chat to the #nethack-hardfought channel on Discord. Goonstation used to have an IRC that has without notice gone down. Any chance this could be done?

It went down WITH notice like 4 years ago, dude!

Technically totally possible, HackMUD community does similar.
As much as I'd love the freedom of IRC from Discord, I don't expect it to happen.

That's pretty weird. The two can coexist with a bridge pretty seamlessly. Shame.

Idk that anyone has a hatred for IRC. If anything I hate discord cause it's so shit and has shit moderation tools. But I don't think that adding back the IRC will really give us any benefit over what we have now.

Also, as emily said, the irc was shut down with a very long notice like 3 or 4 years ago, come on.

We even had an irc bridge for a bunch of time. Alas as much as I love the Internet relay chat protocol, it's time to move on.

Goon is one of the only reasons I ever used Discord I'd definitely appreciate a bridge

I'd say I'd be more likely to use IRC than Discord but after 15 years mIRC finally figured out that the 30-day trial period had ended and won't let me use it anymore.

Discord wants me to give them a phone number now so I haven't been able to use it for a while. It's a real shame. I enjoyed talking to goons on the Discord.

I've been using HexChat on Windows pretty painlessly.
