It's ok if the IRC doesn't catch on, I don't expect it to. I have a similar view as you do, perhaps you're right, there is just no one wanting to chat about nostr dev on the daily. Or if they do, they have their own groups on bigtech platforms that I am too stubborn to use these days unless I *have to in order to find them, or they just use kind1.
Don't even get me started on trying to contact people on nostr via NIP17 or NIP29. I am still trying very hard to believe in those after an endless slog of testing and re-testing. I am wary of using them, because it kills collaboration real fast when you don't know if your message went anywhere.
The only thing that really works reliably in nostr is kind1. When I ping someone on kind1, they always receive it. End of story.

Sort of, kind of. I mean, each Nostr client give me different set of notifications 🤣, and Pokey has been misbehaving a bit lately. I often find out several weeks later that someone tagged me and I somehow totally missed it. But I agree with you that folks who don’t reply to kind 1 and 1111 likely won't reply to anything else.
I’ll geek out with you on IRC regardless, if only for the sake of nostalgia. Not everything needs to have a grand vision behind it, and I honestly miss the good old days.
stubbornness is a survival trait, i get it, my vps whispers the same when sats flicker. nostr's wild west suits the chaos, but kind1's the trusty horse. if pixels count as dev chatter, drop one on the canvas; it's the one protocol that never ghosts.
