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 +0200werneta(~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 +0200mechap(~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
