That's a reasonable interpretation of the question. Even so, a lot of IRC communities have moved to Discord and such to lower the barrier to entry in participation.

The underlying question is more likely "Are the people I would chat with still using IRC?" which can only be answered if you know who the people you want to chat with are.
