I was an active IRC user 20-25 years ago. Stopped using it around
2000.
Has anything changed since then?

The volume of users has declined. That's about it.

There is IRCv3 initiative going on, which is basically bringing IRC
closer to current chat apps (slack etc.). It is going quite slowly
forward, but most significant clients are participating in the effort.
You can find more info at [https://ircv3.net/](https://ircv3.net/)

Yeah, I noticed that when I connected this morning for the first time
since I left.

This thread has taught me that the year 2000 was around 25 years ago.

What networks/channels did you frequent? You might be able to
reconnect with some old friends here.

Mainly EFnet, Undernet and DALnet. Now, the channels are harder to
remember. I can't even remember the nickname I used. But the channels
would be about computer networking, Linux, hacking and music.

I used to connect to Brasnet back in the day. Been looking for a nice
chat for a while and found a nice brazilian server, assiming you're
brazilian as well.

the network is irc.chatbrasil.org:6667

Cool, I'll check it out. I remember Brasnet too. I actually had a
server that was part of it for a while. I'm living in Canada for the
last 15 years, though. I'm Canadian now :)
