Speaking of IRC, I just reinstalled Colloquy the other night, only to find out that Colloquy seems to be halfway to being abandonware. I almost couldn't find it because the old website still burned into my memory, colloquy.info just turns up an SSL certificate error and I had thought I got the wrong URL at first, but no, Internet Archive confirmed that's what it was.

So it's colloquy.app now, right? You go to that website, and there's two links: the App Store link takes you to an iPad version not verified for Mac OS X and with tons of bad reviews, and the GitHub link is where you can find Mac builds, the latest is 2.5-prerelease-7097 from July 2021 which isn't exactly inspiring confidence that it still has legs.

So I mean, if anybody knows what the gold standard on Macs is nowadays I'm open to suggestions, otherwise I might just fire up Irssi and be done with it.

The experience isn’t amazing, but Mozilla Thunderbird also does IRC and you may have it around already.

irccloud.com also used to be nice.

The gold standard for IRC anywhere is either; mIRC on windows, or irssi/weechat anywhere else.
