2024-04-28 21:59:04 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | where would a motd be printed |
2024-04-28 21:58:54 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | I think the only thing there is is the /topic |
2024-04-28 21:58:38 +0200 | <yin> | i forget, do individual channels have a MOTD? |
2024-04-28 21:58:23 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | that sort of happened... accidentally |
2024-04-28 21:58:19 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | also it's kind of hilarious that the majority of the www links in the topic are hosted by me |
2024-04-28 21:57:47 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | (it's still the very first thing in the topic) |
2024-04-28 21:57:32 +0200 | <yin> | tomsmeding: yes, haskell reddit was very good |
2024-04-28 21:57:23 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | I've learned to read it -- it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out how to scroll to the end in weechat |
2024-04-28 21:56:52 +0200 | <yin> | i read it! old habit from the "netiquette" days |
2024-04-28 21:56:27 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | when haskell reddit was larger (I left reddit when the third-party apps thing happend) that was a good promotion venue |
2024-04-28 21:56:21 +0200 | <dolio> | That thing no one reads? :รพ |
2024-04-28 21:56:04 +0200 | <yin> | that's what /topic is for |
2024-04-28 21:55:27 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | I guess the same holds for matrix, but on discord one can at least pin a post (don't know if they did that here, I'm not in that discord) |
2024-04-28 21:55:06 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | promoting something in a linear chat channel is kind of difficult |
2024-04-28 21:54:06 +0200 | <yin> | :p |
2024-04-28 21:54:03 +0200 | <yin> | probably it's not far from a "where the survey was promoted" plot |
2024-04-28 21:52:28 +0200 | <geekosaur> | it's promoted pretty much everywhere |
2024-04-28 21:52:02 +0200 | <yin> | don't know if it was promoted here but the results are more or less consistent with previous years |
2024-04-28 21:50:39 +0200 | <mreh> | did you promote this on IRC :^) |
2024-04-28 21:46:13 +0200 | <yin> | IRC not that far from Discord |
2024-04-28 21:45:49 +0200 | <yin> | https://taylor.fausak.me/2022/11/18/haskell-survey-results/#s5q0 |
2024-04-28 21:44:42 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I'm definitely using more Matrix these days, but still appreciate my IRC logs |

2024-04-28 21:42:53 +0200 | <geekosaur> | on the FP discord |
2024-04-28 21:42:31 +0200 | <geekosaur> | https://discord.gg/5ay2HNK2 iirc |
2024-04-28 21:42:22 +0200 | <ncf> | yep |
2024-04-28 21:41:23 +0200 | <mreh> | is that where all the zoomer haskellers hang out? |
2024-04-28 21:41:12 +0200 | <mreh> | is there a discord? |
2024-04-28 21:41:05 +0200 | <geekosaur> | *EMS |
2024-04-28 21:40:55 +0200 | <int-e> | (of IRC) |
2024-04-28 21:40:50 +0200 | <int-e> | that, the end of the matrix bridge... and general decline |
2024-04-28 21:40:45 +0200 | <geekosaur> | dropped roughly by half, and by half again when the EWS gateway died |
2024-04-28 21:40:45 +0200 | <dolio> | Yeah. |
2024-04-28 21:40:39 +0200 | <[exa]> | kinda increased the use of matrix and other things too |
2024-04-28 21:39:59 +0200 | <dolio> | The freenode disaster really lowered the amount of idlers, though, I suspect. |
2024-04-28 21:39:34 +0200 | werneta | (~werneta@71.83.160.242) |
2024-04-28 21:38:23 +0200 | <dolio> | Even now it seems like most people idle. |
2024-04-28 21:38:12 +0200 | <dolio> | 3k was probably mostly people idling. |
2024-04-28 21:34:13 +0200 | mechap | (~mechap@user/mechap) |
2024-04-28 21:33:38 +0200 | <mreh> | we probably had fewer than 300 users online concurrently in the 2010s iirc |
2024-04-28 21:31:43 +0200 | <mreh> | 3k unique nicks in #haskell in 2006 |
2024-04-28 21:31:22 +0200 | <mreh> | I rewatched a talk from SPJ from 2007: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06x8Wf2r2Mc&t=761s |
2024-04-28 21:29:45 +0200 | <geekosaur> | the staff left en masse and founded libera; much of freenode followed them |
2024-04-28 21:29:44 +0200 | <mreh> | ah yeah, I'm just reading the wikipedia article |
2024-04-28 21:28:44 +0200 | <geekosaur> | sort of twitter in miniature |
2024-04-28 21:28:33 +0200 | <geekosaur> | freenode was taken over by a lunatic and imploded |
2024-04-28 21:28:10 +0200 | <mreh> | I wasn't around, what happen |
2024-04-28 21:28:08 +0200 | <monochrom> | Err nevermind, misread 10m as 10 minutes. |
2024-04-28 21:28:07 +0200 | <EvanR> | lol |
2024-04-28 21:28:05 +0200 | <geekosaur> | oh |
