I have a tmuxed session that is always connected, and I attach to it from wherever I happen to be. As others have stated, I too find it a non-intrusive, pleasant way to be in contact with certain groups of people.

emojis are old school, i don't use anything unless it has full gif support now. Gotta have a way of putting up baby yoda sipping gifs when people ask how i'm doing
And posting gifs for some reaction is more rage inducing on my end. 99.999% of the time, a gif is absolutely unneeded and unwanted.
Every day, It's become a social network of sorts for geeks, despite the age of the protocol I still find it the least "invasive" and most friendly experience, but that's probably because I spent the time configuring a client that's nice for me. (preview: http://imgs.fyi/img/9ve2.png ) I run a network even, called darkscience and it's available at irc.darkscience.net (TLS only on port 6697) the lobby is #darkscience i…
That looks quite nice! If you're using irssi would you be willing to share your colors / setup?
Since I don't know how to easily package it I just took a tar of my .weechat and .config/alacritty directories, which should at least help you get started if you want an identical setup to mine. You just need to change your username in .weechat/irc.conf

Please do share your irc client config if possible :)
Perhaps only of passing interest to others here but in 1990s Portugal, IRC was the only way for gay people to chat and meet up outside of bars, before sites like Gaydar took hold and then of course apps like Grindr. I feel like something was lost along the way in the move to dating sites and apps; a general forum (channels) to participate in, rather than just one-to-one messaging which doubled down on the meat market…
I was very much on local and punk channels. I guess at some point half the people I knew / hangout with in meat space were from IRC.
Also had one of my most successful websites at that time (2001)... I guess only 3 years ago starting working on something with as many pageviews.

wee_slack.py (if you can create application tokens) works wonderfully for the same purpose. Since everyone is really pushing slack it makes my life easier to have it natively in my favourite IRC client.
How does it manage Slack threads?
If you type /thread then weechat will open a buffer in the thread which makes it appear as if it's just another channel basically. Albeit with no name other than the randomly assigned 3 chars.

Isn't this a bit like saying "many of the regulars on reddit are rude assholes" but you mostly see subs like r/inceltears or r/tumblrinaction ? I think the community has a lot to do with it and each channel is often its own community and culture, even on the same server.
nah on reddit, there is active moderation and users self regulate and you don't see real scum and villainy unless you sort by controversial(or seek out a subreddit that sucks) in any irc it's constant and due to the inertia of users, even if you come back a month later the same user will probably come back and say the same dumb stuff to you instead of you finding someone new to talk to
