IRC is long dead. The only time I even see IRC groups anymore is for piracy.

I'm on a sort of global village irc server I found a link to in HN comments, and I keep in touch with a couple other sets of friends through efnet and private irc (with discord relay). It's dead relative to its hay day, but protocols never really die.

The protocol might not be dead, but 99% dead is pretty much the same thing. How many people do you know that still use Usenet for discussion?
