RustNet

Internet Relay Chat Network

An independent IRC network for people who enjoy good conversation, working on things, and sharing what they know.

Programming, open source, Linux, infrastructure—or just the usual off-topic discussion. Bring your client. Make yourself at home.

About RustNet

RustNet was started by long-time IRC users, many with roots in QuakeNet communities. We wanted a new, independent place for the conversations and projects that have always made IRC worthwhile.

You do not need to be a developer to be here.
