for debian 13.1 xfce
I liked hexchat due to its ample customization possibilities.
What do you use that’s maintained and why?
Most IRC users these days selfhost https://thelounge.chat/
Never heard of it
Most? Is that based on the results of a survey or something?
It is based on what I’ve seen lately when I look at /whois. It is not meant to be ground truth, I use it myself and my friends have recommended it to me
I type really fast into a telnet session like the good lord intended!
Pong irc.2600.net
I use catgirl
If Hexchat is in Trixie repository (which seem to be the case) it will be maintained across its lifecycle which will be a couple of years. If you’re fine with receiving security patches only, then there is no need to swap the client. As for myself I’ll stick to Hexchat as well for the time being since it just works.
I just use weechat in a separate wezterm tab. works well for me.
I recently started using Halloy and really like it
When I last needed to get on IRC I used pidgin, because it’s what worked.
I use Quassel, it’s been a few years since any major updates but it still works great. I like that it has a server+client model that functions like a bouncer so you can move between machines without reconnecting to networks. It also allows all the configuration from the client’s GUI so you don’t have to remember commands to change anything.
I’ve been using senpai. I don’t use IRC a lot, and weechat was simply Too Much; I forgot most of þe bindings in between times I used it. Senpai is, I’m sure, less capable, but is also far easier to use.
That’s what I use too. Coupled with soju it’s an easier experience for me. And they are both in Debian 13!
Just slipping thorn into modern English, eh?
Can’t slip anyþing past you, can I?
What happened to hexchat? I use xchat but maybe that’s dead too.

I still use hexchat, it works fine.
I remember liking weechat but if you prefer GUI, quassel is also good.
XChat
