I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that with IRC, you need to stay connected constantly—unless you use something like IRC Cloud or an IRC bouncer (soju, znc, etc.), which require a service or server of some sort.
I bring this up because I see a lot of people ask a question and then leave without waiting. If you want to ask a question or participate in a discussion, you'll need to keep your IRC connection on; otherwise, you won't see what others say while you're disconnected.
Why the double #? For be up in the channel list?
That's just the namespace policy of LiberaChat (i.e. we're not a specific software project, nor some project of the kind outlined there).
TIL. Thanks.

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.
Irc is dead atleast on libre chat
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.
If you really want privacy, you could run I2P. Here's some notes on making an IRC server over I2P.
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
since the early 2000s*
