I actually use IRC in my coding agent Change into rooms to get into different prompts. using it as remote to change any project, continue from anywhere.
Does IRC still have message length limits or was that only in the early versions of the protocol?

However, most modern IRC implementations support a subset of the IRCv3 protocol extensions which allow up to 8192 bytes for "message tags", i.e. metadata and keep the 512-byte message length limit purely for historical and backwards-compatibility reasons for old clients that don't support the v3 extensions to the protocol.
So the answer, strictly speaking, is yes. IRC does still have message length limits, but practically speaking it's because there's a not-insignificant installed base of legacy clients that will shit their pants if the message lengths exceed that 512-byte limit, rather than anything inherent to the protocol itself.
For future reference I recommend having another Haiku instance monitor the chat and check if people are up to some shenanigans. You can use ntfy to send yourself an alert. The chat is completely off the rails right now...
