Not nearly as many as are traded via IRC on a regular basis.

Even IRC seems to have died a horrible death. If it isn't overrun by
binaries, it's filled with bots of various types, trivia being the
preferred.

I can remember my first exposure to 'IRC', which at the time was BitNet
chat back in the late 80's. I made a lot of good real-life friends via
it. But now things being what they are, I hardly use IRC.
