There is already IRC protocol for that use case.

Man I miss going on irc

I’m sure people still use irc but are there actually like active channels anymore or is it all just dead channels filled with idle people who have had mirc open out of habit for 30 years

Like when I go on soul seek chatrooms that’s all it is now. Ages ago they used to be constant discussion and now it’s like one person will say slurs once every day or two and then just nothing

It’s still largely active, but the user base isn’t really growing.
