Ask HN: Who spends (or prefers to spend) more time on Usenet/IRC than on the web
2 by taurusnoises | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey. I write a newsletter on humans and intentionality, and am interested in speaking with or hearing on here from people who either spend a lot of time on Usenet or using IRC, or who take strong anti-web positions and so chose to circumvent the web and instead engage with other Internet protocols like Usenet and IRC. While I've got a broad interest in the subject (interested in hearing whatever you'd like to share), I am especially interested in hearing from people who prefer Usenet/IRC to newer, web-based social platforms (Discord, Slack, etc). Especially if you have taken a strong stance either way. - What keeps you off the web and in non-web spaces? - What specifically about Use/IRC do you like?
