Yes however I doubt the author was an IRC user. For chats people generay do use lowercase cause it's easier but this article is also about using lowercase outside of chats.

This user I think got it from Tumblr (firmly millennial).

Gen Z I would think default to title case because that’s what smart phones produce when not wrangled.

That depended on your IRC server of choice.

I grew up on some where you got flamed very quickly if you didn’t clean that up (e.g Espernet).
