Ask HN: Does anyone still use IRC?

I miss IRC too. Unfortunately I cannot find a good mac IRC client and that seriously has inhibited my desire to use it.

I used to use gamesurge and enterthegame servers mainly to hang and chat with other gaming buddies. So much has changed since then

Check out: https://weechat.org/. It's my favorite. Runs in a shell so you can use it on most operating systems.

I like LimeChat http://limechat.net/mac/ for an open source app, it's been somewhat dormant but it got an update semi-recently.

Textual https://www.codeux.com/textual/ is a proprietary paid app that seems to be under more active development. I used it for a bit and enjoyed it, but prefer FOSS when possible and switched back to LimeChat when it got updated again.

LimeChat is great. I use their mobile version, and it is about the fastest iOS app I've ever used.

I'm still Textual on the desktop, though.
