You'll be surprised how big of a sperglord one can be when you get accustomed with the regulars on most IRC channels.
irc is exclusively for sperglords
The only people on IRC are sperglords

Oh don't worry, you'll fit right in. Just do what you already do here: lurk around until you get a feel for the culture / unspoken rules.
Don't overdo it. Just calm down and lurk more.
Can they see your IP in IRC?
IRC is a massive circlejerk so do lots of lurking
Depends if it was configured to broadcast it or not, some hide it and most don't.
Learn how to idle.
>how do i go into chat rooms and talk to people
the same way you started posting here, just lurk the channel a bit and talk ffs.
>and most don't.
But that's fucked up.
IRC was never made with privacy and anonimity in mind. You're not anonymous and most of IRC doesn't have a problem with that.
Rizon and SynIRC hide your IP.
You can also request a virtual hostname to cover your original one.
Regular: [email protected]
Vhost: [email protected]
PS. they prolly won't accept that vhost lol
this
and that's why it's still goat after all those years
freenode (where all FOSS devs are) shows your whole hostname: ip + host
Really depends what chans you're joining.
Some of them are very welcoming to newcomers, and others not so much.
also bouncers
literally lurk moar (in IRC)

>rules
rules are whatever the man-children that has the power in the channel or network want them to be at that specific time.
irc is dead.

Kek, this
There is no greater tyrant than a fat neck beard irc admim
There are a few very laid back IRC chans that only ban people for annoying shit like mass highlighting, spamming, etc.
Most of them are pretty small about the rules though.
/connect -ssl -ssl_verify irc.rizon.net
/join #baot
Enjoy.
