Is this messaging in the traditional Instant Messenger sense? People talking
to eachother?

Or is it some kind of computer-to-computer chat system that humans don't
need to interact with?

Either way, use an external IRC server if you don't want to set one up?

You can easily register a private channel on most irc networks and keep it
entirely to yourself. I have a private channel that I'm in with a dozen or
so other like minded people and it has worked well for around 3 years now.

Cheers,
