- bplan 5y agoSlack (it's not exactly IRC, but move on with the times)
- gaws 5y ago> but move on with the times IRC is alive and kicking. It's also the better option over the likes of Discord, Slack, and other spyware masquerading as chat apps.
- wexq 5y agoI've used irssi (https://irssi.org https://irssi.org) for years. Have a session running on a shell host under tmux. Works perfectly for me on a desktop and a mobile ssh client.
- austincheney 5y agoHexchat for Windows
- znpy 5y agoI'm using thelounge (https://thelounge.chat/ https://thelounge.chat/). It runs in a container, and I can keep a tab open on my phone, my work laptop and my private laptop without much hassle.
- zzo38computer 5y agoI use a IRC client that I wrote many years ago, in PHP (which isn't the programming language I would use if I were to redo it today), on Windows, with PuTTY as the terminal emulator; I still use the same program, but now on Linux, with xterm as the terminal emulator.
- dave_sid 5y agoFacebook messenger

- Something1234 5y agoweechat (https://weechat.org/ https://weechat.org/) It's available on the SDF metaarray and looks really good in a terminal, so it's what I use.
- cyberdelica 5y agoI go through several "suckless" type IRC clients - currently my own patched version of: https://c9x.me/irc/ https://c9x.me/irc/ - which is nice and simple.
