Re: An IRC channel for retro gamedev

Posted Thu 11 Jan, 2024.

When I wrote here about the new IRC channel dedicated to retro game development:

An IRC channel for retro gamedev

I guess I didn't write it for myself: it was a bit of an announcement; although I don't have any idea on how many people --if anyone-- reads this gemlog. And thinking about it, is not that different with my weblog, because I don't track visitors or look at server logs.

It was surprising when a handful of people joined the channel mentioning that they were coming from Gemini, or that they had read my post. That was surprising, although as someone on Masto pointed out, there must be some overlapping between the interested in Gemini and IRC users.

I don't spend much time browsing the Gemini space --or reading blogs, to be fair; my feed reader reports 128 unread ports currently--, but I'm happy to see that there is plenty of life out there!
