Much much lesser. IRC has basically died to successors. Everybody still uses email sometimes.
IRC is still a pretty strong backbone for Twitch chat. At least it was a couple of years ago.
Forums are still banging around however. Lots of places still use them, and thank god for that.
Not so much though.
There was a moment when forums were the only kind of community but now forum use is dwarved by discord and reddit.
Everyone has to provide an email to make an account somewhere, if they don't do the whole integration with Google/Facebook/etc
IRC is mainly a thing for hardcore 2000s re-livers and lobste.rs users nowadays lol
