<p>I should learn how to use mailing lists and IRC. </p><p>Because a.) they have cool people on them, and b.) they are so old that they are essentially immune to the enshittification wafting over the waking world.</p><p>My only issue with IRC is that it seems like you have to be constantly connected in order to actually keep track of a conversation? I like COMMODE on SDF because it has a nice room history (as well as a friendly TUI). Any tips are appreciated.</p><p><a href="/tags/irc/" rel="tag">#irc</a> <a href="/tags/email/" rel="tag">#email</a> <a href="/tags/mailinglist/" rel="tag">#mailinglist</a></p>
