Yup, it's pretty much a pit. Among the more bearable channels are #perl++ and #london.pm, both of which I lurk on pretty much permanently.

I have to say, #perl on Magnet is one of the vilest online communities I've ever seen in the open source field. Second only to Slashdot comments, I think. The only reason I can handle it is because I've been around since before it was quite so bad (late 90s, before Magnet even started), have become acclimatised to it like a frog to slowly-boiled water, and still enjoy the friendships I've made there with some of the channel regulars.
