I use IRCCloud, and sit mostly on a few Freenode channels. It’s still pretty common for open source developers to congregate on IRC.
I used to run a personal ZNC instance when I still used IRC to socialize, but Discord killed it all, and honestly as stuff got “too big” I even left a lot of the Discord servers as well to escape the nasty annoying drama. Now IRC Cloud makes more sense because it gives me push notifications; I don’t actively sit on IRC much now.
