linux mint comes with a program coincidentally called Hexchat for connecting to IRC networks. Are these obsolete at this point, or are there still places to hang out with people so i dont have to use discord?

    I’d say IRC is obsolete, but it is far from dead. Kinda like Doom, or e-mail. It is still one of the best places to get tech support (probably why it’s included out of the box).

    Hexchat is a good client. I’ve used it since it was called X-chat.
