> a microblogging service,

I didn't argue that it's not a microblogging service. I said it is not "social media". An IRC server is definitely not "social media": what's the difference between that and Twitter? There's a line somewhere, some cluster of traits that you expect from a "social media" platform and that you definitely do not expect from an IRC server.
