IRSSI
It's the only one that doesnt have an unnecessarily fat interface and lets me split stack different server windows without taking up a quarter of my screen

Pidgin because i'm kinda lazy

>terminal client
is this 1969?

Anyway, i use acme+ii

Seamonkey

weechat cuz why use something else? An IRC client is nothing complex, I can send stuff and read stuff. Also nice that I can automatically customize it by customizing my terminal (transparentfag here)

I used to use weechat but there was some annoying bug that I couldn't fix so I just decided to fuck ricing, installed stock irssi and have been happy with it for years now.

hexchat because I like the gui

you know you can use antialiased fonts in acme?

but people still use the terminal on a daily basis for everything....between vim, weechat and tmux I don't have to use anything other than terminal to do my job..

I use weechat because it's the first one I tried and it just works

first tried irssi but never really used it.
then hexchat for a while but i still dont use irc much.
next going to try weechat when i setup my personal machine again but i read between that and hexchat its just preferance.
znc makes more of a difference to than the clients.

I have a Quassel core on my server and then connect to that from my PC
Then quasseldroid on my tablet.

the weechat scripting api is inherently insecure, so irssi for lack of better atlernatives

Used MIRC for years, then XCHAT, now HEXCHAT.

Just want a basic gui interface. I only idle two channels these days anyway.

Serious question here, why do you guys still use IRC? Seems alright but kind of unnecessary

mirc on windows
irssi on linshit

discord-cli cause noone uses irc anymore

ERC in emacs. Why? Because fuck it that's why

I like it because my erc/IRC config follows me wherever my init.el goes.

BitchX because I don't have to configure it use it.

irssi

I use facebook and twitter

Technically it's a terminal emulator.

irssi mos def

torilla tavataan

Konversation. Works pretty well and it came with my DE.

>What do you use
HexChat, but I don't like it.
>and why?
because it was recommended to me. Looking for a replacement though.

kvirc cause hex often timeouts me

i prefer unaliased

>Using anything other than bitchX
It's like you're not even a 1337 hacker.

irssi. tried weechat but it has some very annoying bugs.

HexChat, because I use Windows and only use IRC for anime downloads.

why

Discord 2bh

How do I make irssi have a list of who is in the channel on the right?

hexchat because it came preinstalled, and who the fuck has a irc client preference anyway?

tools.suckless.org/sic/

you mean chatzilla

BitchX

Technically it's a pseudo terminal session

...

>IRC

this isn't the 90s anymore OP

What version? There's a shit-ton of discord-cli projects

...

Hexchat.
#bookz

What client is this?

I use ERC, well because it's inside Emacs.

I met a ton of my friends on IRC and it's super easy to use with no frills.

TheLounge

CLI-fags do not apply

Hexchat

I don't really talk to anyone. I just use it to leech from bots and lurk people's conversations.

I still use NoNameScript. Have been since 2005 and there's just nothing better.

Hexchat.

Holy fuck user that's soo pretty, nice job senpai

Been alternating between BitchX and epic5.

I use emacs

Thanks user

Irssi is minimal in the sense that it is very bare-bones. It does not have sane defaults. Therefore I prefer Weechat. The program itself may not be minimal, but it's sane defaults mean I don't need to configure much out of the box.

Is that still not dead ?

because muh cpu cycles

How do I theme hexchat like that? On mint 18/ buntu 16 so I have version 2.10.2

IRSSI is the best one period, mIRC a close second.

>who the fuck has a irc client preference anyway?
Someone who doesn't want to rewrite all their scripts, or get stuck with some shit client that can't do scripting.

you can make decently intelligent friends there who aren't retarded weebs

Hexchat, fun to theme

Does anybody use Miranda IM?

>Shotty
Skotty? Lawrence Scott Dunsmore????

I used irssi for seven years and then moved to weechat which I've been using for five years.

Tmux/screen+ weechat+irssinotifier+mosh or vpn = gold standard. Sadly my engineer friends been moving to whatsapp

I used to use irssi, but I tried out weechat, liked it better for my use and switched over to it a year or two ago.

Where? I tried getting on IRC to see if I could replace this shithole. I joined several channels that were relevant to my interests and not a single post was made by anyone in any of them over a 48 hour period. Just people joining and leaving and that's it.

>engineer friends been moving to whatsapp
huge faggots or disgusting pajeets. No other options.

Also, weechat + tmux is the shit.

>web base
might as well use weebchat
