    Counterpoint: I am too young to understand this technology, it scares me, and I am unwilling to learn.

      Then you can stay on forums that needs to be refreshed, or uuuh… isn’t there a proprietary IRC like thing for young people, something like Disco? Or Discom. Or Discord? Apparently it’s much like IRC but without the freedom.

      I think that’s always been the allure of IRC in modern internet times… Keeps the normal people away and makes it a place that’s more exclusive to nerds. It’s scary, you have to learn a few things, has it’s own etiquette and you can’t just use it from any phone.

        I think there are more than enough online spaces specializing in weird nerds. More interested in escaping the first world nerd bubble than ever.
