About a year now without Facebook 🥳

Two years without LinkedIn.

Never used list that comes into mind:

1. Instagram
2. Snap Chat
3. TikTok
4. Spotify (I use BandCamp and SoundCloud because they have all the interesting music. I never have had a thing for cherry-picked and uninteresting music)
5. Discord
6. TOR (As of today I haven't been in a situation where I need to buy narcotics or illegal sexual services or associated oriented material from Internet)

Projects touching this topic that I find interesting and trying out once in a while.

1. IRC 3.0: think time would right to establish wide IRC 3.0 network. There's a niche for this. I hope someone like OFTC or Libera Chat would start providing this for developers interested both having projects there or help to establish IRC 3.0.
2. Try Quiet: Look at https://tryquiet.org/. It's not yet stable enough for production but this could be a great alternative for Signal group chats for instance.

A correction. Libera Chat already supports as of today IRCv3 at least in some level (not full coverage of the features):

@jarkko chat history is the only thing I liked about slack. Great to see efforts to make it into IRCv3.

I had an idea of creating a public chat platform like IRC where channels were stored as text files, but I had a hard time understanding how to keep client connections open to the server.
