Is there some big advantage to irssi over WeeChat that I'm missing?

Jesus Christ get a real client already

Better platform support/portability in my experience, irssi is like the vim of IRC clients, you can expect someone to have ported it to your platform already, no matter what it is.

takes less space on your potato

But i have a $1650 potato

Why would you need anything other than ircII + AtlantiS?

>2017 and still playing multiplayer notepad
get a life

I've been using irssi for over 10 years and I can't see myself using anything else. Before then, when I was 14 it was E×çűrșion (a 1337 mIRC client).

I can't find Excursion anywhere anymore.

What a retard

WeeChat is bloated and wastes fat more resources.

FAQ has these 2 points so you know it's shit:
- How can I tweak WeeChat to consume less memory?
- How can I tweak WeeChat to use less CPU?

Go back to your failbook, manchild

>when irc is dead

>irc is dead
>dozens of networks
>thousands of channels
>hundreds of thousands users

Big networks: DALnet, rizon, freenode, efnet, irchighway, undernet...

Then you have lainchan, snoonet (reddit), and many others. Every private tracker has its own IRC network. IRC is still useful for controlling botnets, too.

IRC is far from dead. It's the best online form of communication.

Does it have a discord plugin? Weechat does.

Then why the fuck are you using text-based software in the first place?

>implying irc is anything but text either way
lmao

IRC is only for software developers and security professionals. One of the most popular clients has a textbased UI. It's pretty dead despite having many users. All the users are nerds.

Does IRC even have any ecrptyion? Seems like any bloke can just come in and record or even sniff thsoe packets

Sounds amazing.

What are some cool channels to join? I promise I'm not a retarded normie.

#gentoo

you can use it with SSL, yes

What's wrong with nerds?

you might consider weechat bloated. You can configure way too many options and you can write plugins in pretty much every scripting language.
That results in 20mb for a stupid terminal irc client.
irssi is nice and small with a little over 1mb.
Even Hexchat is smaller than weechat and that has a gui.

>he didn't build weechat from source

Any suggestions?

scripts dude
irssi + scripts = > client than weebchat

top kek, weechat has way better scripting support than irssi.

i used irssi for over 5 years, switched to weechat and never looked back. it can do everything irssi does and so much more.

Not him but I beg to differ, having too many scripting languages implemented is not sign of being better at scripting.

it's broken and written in rust

>why are you using text-based software for text-based communication
really makes you think doesn't it

This.

But graphical applications have much more versatile text rendering than terminal shit.

...

muh emojis is not an argument

i hate anti depressants sorry

It's socially acceptable to be gay these days, so no one will judge you for using WeeChat.

Do I still have to use a terminal multiplexer to have the userlist next to the chat window?

...

Where's the Chad room?

chad sleeps in stacy room of course lol

Discord

>Terminal shit
This thread is for POSIX users only

IRC isn't supposed to be private.

You can use SSL but that doesn't prevent anyone in the same channel not using SSL from leaking everything

You can use +z in order to enforce SSL in a channel.
