Based on the responses below it looks like what you posted was nothing more than innuendo—actually a smear, given that you singled someone out by name. That counts as a personal attack and that is not allowed on HN. Please don't do this again. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

I think you're a bit confused here. Please refer to how danieloaks himself commented, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28505861 >It's totally fair to make that link, but I very explicitly told everyone over at LTM/H (including PIA and Handshake) that Oragono/Ergo and ircdocs were not work projects in any way.

Just because the targets of your uninformed smear showed up to defend themselves and were super-gracious about it doesn't mean uninformed smears are ok. They don't owe you a 'clearing of the air', you owe them an apology.

Seems to support all the new IRC features. What's the best client to get all of those features? For the terminal and GUI on Linux. Or for Windows.

terminal-wise, irssi and weechat are the traditional ones recommended these days. but there's a couple newer ones like catgirl: https://git.causal.agency/catgirl/about/ and some rust ones out there.

GUI-wise there's HexChat, mIRC, Quassel, lots of interesting options to look at.

May be worth digging through these tables a bit more if you're interested: https://ircv3.net/software/clients

I have used irssi and weechat. Do they support the new features though?

Uniformed? Tell me what part of what I said was factually incorrect. The only smear going on right now is from you and dang.

When was the last time either of you used IRC? It seems like you're going off surface level appearances here without understanding any of the context. This was an issue that had to be addressed for anyone from the IRC community to take Ergo seriously.
