What's everyone's favorite linux-based client nowadays? I've been out of it a long time, but recent events have got me interested in seeing what's happening at libre chat.
I'm looking forward to the weechat-matrix-rs project becoming usable, so I can also use it as a Matrix client.

irssi in a tmux session on a shell account somewhere online. Also works as a bouncer and log collector.
What I wonder is: What can we, as normal HN users, do to increase the entertainment value of this IRC drama?
Freenode: Current global users 49980 Libera: Current global users 32769 Freenode's decline in users over the past month: http://www.hinner.com/ircstat/Socip_F_2.gif Comparison showing Freenode decline and Libera rise: https://netsplit.de/networks/top10.php Probably won't be long before Freenode is effectively dead.

Just curious, tried LibraIRC but I didn't see any programming channel. Did I enter the wrong server? On Freenode I can see e.g. #c or #c++ which are channels with large amount of users.

That's sort of my question. What's the end goal for Freenode? They're burning the network to the ground. Is there some positive outcome for them here that I'm missing?
Once they've burnt it to the ground, they'll have a blank slate. It looks like they're trying to make a job board for channers…? It might work; I'm confused enough to think I'm missing something. If others feel that same confusion, Lee's Freenode might be able to get some venture capital.
