it's only been going on for about 3 decades

You'll learn your place OP. hint - it isn't on IRC. do not say anything we don't agree with. do not say anything. we had this conversation 10 years ago and we totally won, but I just don't have the logs, so you can't talk about this here.

irssi

It just works and there are a lot of scripts for it to extend its functionality.

telnet

Either this or >>59634063 if you don't mind the text-only interface.

Fuck off and take your snowflake mentality with you. IRC isn't some "muh sekrit club" shit and any decent community using IRC will confirm that.

t. some oldfart that has been using IRC for 3 decades.

everyone already has. it's why services like slack replaced it, to eliminate the autism. op power levels (circlejerk levels) and voicing has no place in any business, this "protocol" has the word chat in its acronym pretending that these things aren't exclusively put in place to silence users. IRC isn't muh sekrit club, it's "yuh" sekrit club, hence being unable to say anything unless you were already part of the circlejerk at least 5 years ago. This is why OP won't be able to get in now, or ever and why IRC is effectively dead as all channels will have this by now.

t. the entire private sector

Seconded. I'm trying to push this as part of a standards-based messaging platform for my company (with IRCv3, Charybdis, atheme, archived logs and bots copied from #perl6 channel). Unfortunately I think it's doomed though, everyone wants pretty GUIs and emoticons :-(
