"Not sure about good of Twitter. Reddit still seems good. Going offline."
I miss IRC, people at least attempted to form proper sentences most of the time and knew that announcing your away status was kind of annoying to other people.
Basically, any and all communities wide open for everyone reaching the mainstream are eventually going down hill, unless there's a paywall and or heavy moderation keeping the "unwashed swine" at bay and culture intact.
Your feelings about IRC are sadly misplaced, but you can easily recreate the glorious days by running your own small community.
