Yeah! A client for everything and everything in its client. I really really don't like web apps. Why should I have to open a web browser to check my email? Or edit a document? Or check messages on social media?
And IRC will always hold a special place in my heart, because I met my wife on IRC.
Never really got into Usenet. I ran a BBS in the mid-90s, and used to use Fidonet to communicate with people there, before Usenet or mailing lists, and looong before web forums. Somehow, nothing they've ever come up with has been able to hold a candle to Fidonet. 😜
