    Man, I haven’t used IRC since the early 2000’s. It must have been 20 years now. I’m trying to connect using Konversation, the KDE IRC client. I can’t seem to connect to the irc server.

        It’s become so complicated. To use Libera chat IRC I need to register with a name and email now? Back then I just connected to the server, joined a channel and started chatting. Now I can’t send messages or anything. Everything’s blocked. It sucks.

          its always moderation . nostr is basically irc now but much better also it is filled with crypto bros . 1 thing i dont like about nostr is there will always be this probability that someone will generate same private keys
