> IRCv3 is probably an interesting story but I don’t know anything about it right now; are there people out there trying to use it?

It's in use right now on Libera.

I find it strange that this comment first advocates the website author subsidize data collection for big tech, a group which it immediately clarifies "make people's lives miserable".
