Hexchat is perfect for you if you need to ask the question.

Thanks anon, but I don't want to pay for an irc client.

>>60720130
just use mirc. you can easily reset the trail no hassle. its not hard

>>60720130
Konversation is better than Hexchat, especially the bookmarking features

Hexchat is shit

>>60722373
I concur

>>60722582
Limechat is fine. I've been on irc since 1993 and I use limechat.

Colloquy.

Weechat is pretty gud because glowing bear makes mobile irc so nice. It also allows you to use irc from kiosks that allow only browser access.

mirc

Mah niggas. I've been using weechat for seven years now. I havent set up glowing bear but irssinotifier is pretty comfy, I get highlights immediately as push-notifications.

hexchat seems like one of the easier ones to set up, and since I'm a n00b that's what I picked

works fine. couldn't get file transfers to work though.

None. 1999 was 18 years ago.

>>60730767
only retarded /v/irgins and newfags fled to discord

irc doesnt seem any deader than 3-4 years ago

Isn't this a contradiction? Read their privacy policy and what your data means to them; nobody with even a semblance of intelligence would willingly use such service.

select one

>>60730813
you can still use it, its hardly the worst offender for privacy
just be careful with what you post (as you should anyway)

KVIrc because it's easy to script
