There's a bunch of active servers, and I have Ambassador for Pale Moon installed. I just never have cause to use it instead of Discord anymore. I think that says more about me than IRC. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] siuvhne@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) yeah but my peeps gone like 20 years ago! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social 2 points 3 years ago The problem of any social network that starts organically.

Emojis might be an optional requirement for some people, but gifs are the foundation of communication for a lot of people these days. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Yinchie@kbin.social 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) Ban GIFs worldwide, TBH. It is mostly spam IMO. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] azura@kbin.social 4 points 3 years ago as someone with sight problems, I could not agree more. permalink fedilink source parent [–] NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago GIF support, no, but I think most clients I've seen have the ability to display Unicode emoticons, which would help for 99% of the image use. As far as GIFs, I guess you'd need to build an IRC client that does the same thing as Discord - display a "preview" of a properly-coded image link. Because certainly, it's easy enough to search giphy or tenor and drop a link in chat. I'll readily admit the low-effort ability to react with an icon is both a blessing and a curse. It's sometimes enough to drop in an icon or two as a response, saving mental bandwidth but still responding. permalink fedilink source parent
