My experience with IRC has always been the same, including present day libera.

Almost all the channels are dominated by a few terminally-online people with zero emotional intelligence and the biggest god complexes you've ever seen. Everything is black-and-white, and daring to suggest otherwise just gets you attacked.

Some will say "just use /ignore", but that's not very helpful when most conversations always involve said problematic people and their walls of text... you just constantly see one-sided conversations now.
