Rot in hell, more like.

(I haven't really used irc in maybe a decade, but I think I'll go work out what software I should use to chat on Libera Chat... Is scary devil monastery still a thing?)

The libera.chat website has some guidance on IRC clients[0] but personally I'd recommend HexChat[1]. It's as close to a reference implementation of irc as you can get.

Yeah. I have been meaning to reconnect with IRC for a while. This seems like a good time.

irssi is more or less eternal. weechat (not wechat) is more or less a less shitty irssi.
