I see a lot of recommendations for Irssi and I have to throw in a suggestion to replace Irssi: WeeChat. It can be configured to look and feel very similar to Irssi, but
- it uses more sensible defaults,
- it is actively maintained,
- judging by the list in TFA it has twice the number of users, and
- it is built on better practises making extension etc. easier.
(That said, if you're not interested in a text-based interface, The Lounge does look really good. But I've never tried myself.)
- pavel_lishin 2y agoThe last time I used irc, WeeChat was also my client of choice, having also migrated over from irssi.
- pferde 2y agoFor the record, irssi is still actively maintained and developed, but it is understaffed, and has a lot of technical debt standing in the way of some new features.
- RGamma 2y agoWeechat via screen/tmux or bouncer is quite pleasant.
