I visited a university recently and brought up IRC in a conversation. Some students did not know what it was and some said “that’s for old people”. So, that’s the genz perception. I wonder to what extent that’s true.. what proportion of IRC users on the notable networks are genz.

I have doubts, because it seems there are still snot nose trolls demonstrating that children are still around. But it would be interesting to have some reliable stats.

AFAIK, netsplit.de is the only database searchable for IRC channels. It would be useful to have that data so we are not constrained to the netsplit.de website.

The ToS mention Google ads, so I guess the owner would not be happy to share the db.
