I find conversation typically more friendly on IRC. Also, it's really awesome to be able to chat with project devs and others in the community in near real-time capacity. It's also easier to joke and share stuff without the need to spam the whole mailing list (not that anyone is doing that). My understanding typically increases ten fold every time I go ask questions. It's much easier to get opinions, and discuss things. You'd really never hope to be able to replace all the IRC conversations with mailing list stuff. It's a different dynamic entirely.
That's just a personal experience. :) -C On Sun, May 7, 2017 at 8:20 PM, wwp <subscr...@free.fr> wrote: > Hello, > > > On Sun, 7 May 2017 16:33:49 +0300 Shlomi Fish <shlo...@shlomifish.org> wrote: > >> Dear Alexandre, >> > [snip] >> As a side note regarding IRC - old does not necessarily imply it is bad (see >> http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/show.cgi?id=two-kinds-of-fools ) >> and >> one can normally find some unified clients to communicate on more than one >> service. > > Agreed on that.
