In line with Edgerton’s (2008) plea for decentering our historical accounts of technology from innovations to uses, we focus on the IRC case and argue that this decentralised, co-constructed (Latzko-Toth, 2014) communication infrastructure continues to serve social groups who tend to distrust proprietary platforms—groups who are key to the collaborative production of software, hardware and politics.	cache/spir-11008.pdf	txt/spir-11008.txt
