  1. Parte 2/3: IRC - La Época Dorada 🌟

    (2/3) En los 90 y 2000, IRC vivió su era de oro con clientes míticos como mIRC. No solo era para hablar; los usuarios crearon "XDCC bots", scripts que automatizaban el envío de archivos mediante comandos de texto. Antes de las webs de torrents, el IRC era el submundo secreto de hackers y piratas para descargar películas, música y software a máxima velocidad. El corazón del internet underground. 🏴‍☠️💬

  3. Well.. I think we all are Fediverse-preachers when it has to come to explain what this is about. So, the other day I was doing it (you know: preaching 🤣) and someone replied: "Ok, so.. it is like IRC, isn't it?" And I was like: "hummm... let me think... well... yeah! It is!" And yes! This isn't a chat, but it still works like IRC, and I love it. I think IRC is the best "social network" ever made and I've always missed it.

  4. Does anyone here in Australia still use IRC? If so, which server/s do you use?

    I noticed AustNet seems to still be around, or at least have a website up (https://www.austnet.org/index.php), but it doesn't seem particularly active?

  6. THE WORST OF THE WORST?!!! People who help supply food?!!

    About a dozen workers detained in #SkowheganME #ImmigrationRaid, advocates say

    The arrests marked the second raid this month by federal immigration agents on workers traveling to #BackyardFarms in #MadisonME.

    Ethan Horton, February 25, 2026

    Excerpt: "About 12 agricultural workers were detained in Skowhegan by federal officers Wednesday morning, two community advocates with knowledge of the situation said.

    "Officers who appeared to be affiliated with U.S. Customs and Border Protection boarded a van and detained the workers at about 6 a.m., Iver Lofving, an advocate and translator, said.

    "The van, Lofving said, was carrying workers from a former motel in Skowhegan to Backyard Farms in Madison and was stopped by federal agents about 10 minutes from Backyard Farms. The van also picked up several people from elsewhere in Skowhegan, who were detained as part of the operation, he said.

    "Federal and local officials have yet to confirm the details of the operation, including how many workers were detained, where they are from, why they were detained and where they are being held. CBP and Skowhegan police did not respond to requests for comment.

    "The raid marked the second time this month that immigration officers have detained workers en route from the former Skowhegan motel at 137 West Front St. to Backyard Farms. "

    Show up for your neighbor: #ClimateCrisis and Inequality at Home

    January 30, 2026
    By Caitlin Marshall

    "When we talk about climate change, we can talk about greenhouse gas emissions, CO2 levels, and kilowatts of renewable energy. These are all key metrics that ensure we’re grounded in solid science as we find a better way forward. But we also need to talk about people. The climate crisis has always been about inequality among people.

    #ClimateChange Displaces Millions

    Globally and locally, those who bear the highest burden of pollution and vulnerability to climate disruption are our #BIPOC neighbors. And one of the threads of that truth is climate migration.

    In the coming decades, climate change will displace millions of people worldwide. Most will be from the Global South, whether directly to escape rising seas and polluted land or indirectly when climate instability exacerbates political instability.

    We might meet this with worry. Or we can be inspired by a different perspective. As #SinafekeshGirma writes, we can 'move beyond viewing migration as a crisis, recognizing its power to advance resilience, inclusive policies, increased adaptation financing, and community-led solutions.'

    #BuildingResilience in Maine

    So what does that mean right now? That means pitching in to support our current #MigrantCommunity in Maine. When we see climate change and #RacialInjustice as interlinked problems, we can also see that the solutions are interlinked.

    For some ideas on where to start: Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition, Maine Immigrant and Refugee Services, Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project, and Maine Equal Justice.

    Showing up for each other today is not only the right thing to do, but it also keeps building our resilience and skills. It prepares us for a future climate-changed world.

    Right here in Portland, we are going to keep seeing climate challenges that ask us to help each other in times of need. Practicing now builds the muscle of resilience, of care. It asks us to be creative, and bold. It forces us to look around and see that change has always, always been part of our story.

    We can lean into our community spirit, and in the words of Maine Youth for Climate Justice, create a 'livable future where we can all thrive.' "

  10. ON THEIR WAY TO WORK!!! SUCH HARDENED CRIMINALS!!!

    #ImmigrantRights group says 17 people were arrested by #CBP agents while riding bus in #Skowhegan

    Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition says it has seen more immigration enforcement activity in rural areas

    Jacob Murphy, February 12, 2026

    Excerpt: "Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition says the workers were staying in the former #KyesMotel in #SkowheganME. The bus regularly picks them up and brings them to #BackyardFarms.

    "Backyard Farms grows #tomatoes and #lettuce and ships the produce across the country.

    "Local growers are concerned that the agricultural workforce will significantly shrink with increasing immigration enforcement.

    " 'The reality we're seeing is that the recent surge in ICE activity is causing uncertainty for farm labor that doesn't stop at a visa status. It’s making it harder for farms to maintain a reliable workforce, which will ultimately ripple out into the broader economy," said Jennifer Wilhelm with Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association.

  12. #DemocracyNow - #ImmigrantRights Leader in #Maine Says #ICERaids Caused Panic & “Wave of Fear”

    February 03, 2026

    "Activists in Maine are resisting #ICE immigration raids in #PortlandME and #LewistonME that the #Trump administration dubbed 'Operation Catch of the Day.' The immigrant community in Maine has grown in recent years, with an influx of #AsylumSeekers and #Somali immigrants in particular. 'As a small state, community means a lot,' says #MufaloChitam, executive director of the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition, adding that her organization has received thousands of phone calls to their immigrant support hotline in recent weeks."

  16. Back in the late 90s, it was all much simpler with mIRC as the chat programme. Simple text conversations, in groups or sometimes 1-on-1.

    Mastodon seems to be the closest thing to that. And that's probably why I enjoy being here so much :).

    I never forget those great times since 1996 when I used to be in specific rooms for music, especially Japanese and learned about more artists from that time. What a struggle to spend one or two hours downloading a single mp3! LOL

  21. Remember back in 2022/23 how folks were reacting to "Mastodon's poor UX" because it was defederated and you had to choose a server and then who to connect with/follow and that your timeline is other people's boosts so you see what you follow etc.

    It just occurred to me, this was not the first time we've had this conversation 😂 - remember mIRC? Trying to convince your MSN Messenger friend to login into mIRC and join a room was exactly the same talk... only the tech jargon was 90s instead of 20s.

    PS: mIRC was last updated in April with version 7.81 (don't know who owns it or if it is a safe/good client, just saying...)

    A few months ago, HexChat (a fork of #XChat) announced its final release, an end of an era for the XChat/HexChat family that rivaled #pIRCh and #mIRC.
