Weechat in tmux/screen with a bouncer is fantastic. Weechat has a ton of scripts like highlight monitoring, filtering of join/part/quit that you can customize for timeouts. Has a great support channel on freenode too.

If you're doing FOSS projects, you can probably get your way around a command line enough to install and run both of these in a $3 VPS or even an AWS instance.

I'm starting to see slack repeaters in IRC channels all around IRC and I am leaving those channel as it ruins my IRC settings and makes things confusing. My colored nicknames no longer work. It splits communities and makes people leave the channel.

Please don't repeat slack to IRC.
