I did the same thing regarding Facebook and Twitter. Reddit largely around same time except for the occasional visit to some smaller subreddits. I would be interested to learn why you have quit IRC? I am thinking to become active in IRC channels sometime next year. Has something changed too big on there recently?

I spent most my time on IRC in JavaScript related channels. When I switched careers I chose to stop talking about JavaScript in my off hours. I just wanted to leave a bunch of nonsense behind and focus on other things.
