Announcing the launch of our new IRC channel. Come chat with us!
As mentioned a few days ago, we've been thinking about hosting an IRC channel for this subreddit, so we're pleased to announce the launch of our brand new IRC channel for you all to enjoy.
We recommend joining our IRC channel with OrangeChat.
If you just want a quick way to join the chat you can use Kiwi IRC. Just type in a Nickname, click Start, and you'll be taken directly to our channel.
Some other convenient ways to access the chatroom on different devices include:
iPad/iPhone/etc: Rooms.
Android tablets and phones: AndroIRC, HoloIRC or AndChat or TurboIRC
Mac: Either the links above or a dedicated program like Colloquy
In most IRC clients, once open, you can type /server irc.snoonet.org then once connected you can type /join #Futurology
Snoonet is the unofficial IRC of reddit. It was created because some of the admins of the reddit channels were sick of freenode.
Is this really beneficial to /r/Futurology? It takes people out of reddit and it leaves no record of discussion.
Eh, I don't think it decreases the discussion here that much. I also do prefer the live discussion to the more "formal" reddit threads.
