Both are running CDC Cyber emulators to make PLATO available again. A special comm program (or, I suppose, a PLATO IV terminal) is required, but the Windows/Mac/Linux clients are available at both sites. Cyber1.org tends to focus on the history of Plato, while irata.online tends to lean towards new development and microcomputer access, with Atari, Apple, TI-99/4A, Commodore, and other clients available for download.
