At this point used only by stuck in the past retards and pure schizos. Have fun
I used to use Hexchat, and then moved onto Weechat because it was the /g/ ricer thing to do. Now I've grown out of the ricing phase, but I can't leave Weechat. It's super convenient once you get used to the commands and config it right.

This. Lounge is the best.
I do prefer weechat, there is a plugin to use OTR :D

Textual.
Pidgin

This.
I can't go back to IRC. The old fuckers from 5 years ago are still there in the same channel, but I refuse to introduce myself again.
Stop being a pussy and use irssi or weechat.

I can't because I always use my real name.
>>58065997
I used one.
It just so happens that their IRC network is very, very small, has like 5 or 6 channels and there's always the same users around for a specific community, so if they see any new activity they'll really put attention on that. It's a community about retro computing, but I don't really fit much in there anymore. I just have some curiosity I guess.
