Ask HN: Does anyone still use IRC?

Python, Rust, and Postgresql have all had really great IRC communities. Unfortunately, stakeholders in Rust decided to move to discord and decommission the Mozilla server, but there remains a determined smaller community on Freenode, ##rust.

IRC remains one of the best ways to connect with technologists and talk shop.

To be clear, the Rust teams decided (mostly) to move to Discord and Zulip; Mozilla decided to disband its IRC. These decisions were made by disjoint sets of people.
