WeeChat 4.8.2 released: bug fix and maintenance release: https://weechat.org/download/weechat/4.8.2/
𝔱.𝔥.i guess it might be a good time to figure out how to navigate #weechat and learn how to use #irc, considering the state of the world rn...

itaikoI heard about Discord… really sucks, cuz I'm in a lot of Discord chats, although I mostly use only one channel the most.
Anyways, I run my own IRC server, anyone can visit.
To get started, depending on your OS, I recommend a good IRC client.
On Linux: Konversation for graphical, weechat/irssi for terminal.
On Windows: Hexchat. At least, that's what I used when I last used Windows.
On MacOS: I don't recommend paying for an IRC client, but instead installing Homebrew and using the ones listed for Linux above.
Once you have an irc client, login to the following:
sparktown.xyz, port 6667(if you don't care about TLS) or 6697(If you do).
Be sure to set a nick, and if you need help registering, let me know!
I was going to try to run an XMPP/Jabber server and it initially was going well but then all the options got in the way, lol. I might try again later. Same for Matrix. There's also Signal, Session and Stoat/Revolt chats. Anyways, try out my IRC server if you want, thanks!
#irc #server #signal #discord #session #stoat #konversation #weechat #hexchat #irssi
CX-7Honestly, IRC is the most fun I’ve had online in ages. Simple, fast, and no-nonsense. I’ve been using it for about 4 months now, mainly connecting to Libera.Chat.
I personally prefer using WeeChat because I enjoy the terminal-based workflow, but there are plenty of other great clients like Irssi or HexChat depending on your style. It’s a great way to find focused communities.
