Discord has been kinda weird lately. Looking for alternatives, haven't
found anything yet. Is IRC something to consider? Is it still a thing?

Of course it is.

I guess it's hard to see how active a community is and what people
talk about where.. but there are absolutely active networks!

Yea, IRC is great but it *is* a step down from discord. No video
calls, no automatic file sharing, (screenshots and other files will
have to be uploaded to a link first). But it’s still a functioning
service and is a lot of fun.

You can definitely use IRC, but I recommend Matrix. It's in my view,
the spiritual successor to IRC and it is able to connect to Freenode
IRC channels. Riot.im (it is now known as Element) is the most
feature-rich client available for the protocol. Message me if you need
help setting it up.
