ICQ, MSN, Skype, and many others are laying on the cemetery, but IRC is still alive and active. Decentralized protocols ftw.

welcome to the FARTLANDIA 😀
Everyone made and used BBS's back in the beginning. It was relatively easy. BBS's somehow morphed into Twitter, etc. and became worth billions. That valuation makes no sense.
I miss the heyday of BBSs and IRC. That’s when the internet was fun, and tinkering brought new discoveries every day. Now it’s mostly just annoying.
everything is correct in your assessments, but this is not bbs, this is irc (chat), this is what was before telegrams, discords, and so on
irc master race.
