My IRC client of choice is Hexchat.
But either way, every channel I used to go in disappeared in favor of Discord,
or they have an IRC bridge for the old holdouts and 90% of users are on Discord
and 99% of all replies in the channel are via Discord. IRC is dead as a platform,
unless you get very lucky. It's not like there's literally no one using it, just
go on the biggest channels on the more popular servers, but activity has cratered
compared to how things were even ten years ago, which would have been long after
when IRC was a more widespread chat system.
I dropped completely out of a lot of communities since the crowd changed with the
software changes, and I ended up one of the last active users connecting via IRC.
It's fucking bullshit and I hate it.
