Hello adventurer! Welcome to our little corner of the 'net. Wetfish is a virtual 3rd place. It's not your home, not your job — it's like a coffee shop or library, a place to hang out and meet new people. We are a diverse group of people from all over the world united by a shared interest in open source technology and dank memes.

We believe that the Internet has great power to bring people together as well as divide them. Wetfish strives to bring people together in small groups to form lasting connections. We encourage our members to meet up in real life and occasionally we throw parties!

Our Demographics

Queer af
Tech nerds
That goth girl you're too intimidated to talk to
Farmers
People with old-internet nostalgia

Wetfish offers a range of communication platforms including text, voice, and video chats. Our IRC server is by far the most active platform that we host. We also host a Matrix server which is bridged to our IRC network, so it doesn't matter which platform you choose - they both go to the same place! If none of that made sense to you, don't worry, just click on the links below.

TODO: It would be cool to have a slider to control the reader's desired technical proficiency. Starting with noob up to l33t hax0r
