In my experience 4chan has more attention seeking behavior than IRC (inline images facilitate it moreso than nicks), and on IRC users tend to be more friendly and aware of each other's humanity.

I have been on IRC since 1993 but this is news to me.

'Friendlier than 4chan' is a pretty low bar.

For sure but "aware of each other's humanity" is ... not something I'd call your typical IRC dweller.
