    I'm using irssi. For me, it does the job. (with some extra scrips)

    Network?! Not in the mood for that. But I will say that I use:
    - libera for tehnical chat
    - undernet for the old time memories

    What about you?

    well, I have my private server and am on a friend's server... but
    there's not that much going on on either.

    Thanks. I'll avoid those networks now.

    It's Libera, obviously. But why only join one? Join them *all*. I think
    I'm connected to around 30 IRC networks.

    Which is the scope to connect to all IRC networks?

    I don't have an overview of where stuff actually happens. Where do you actually chat?

    I think there are much more than 30. Sez Wikipedia:
    "As of June 2021, there are 481 different IRC networks known to be
    operating"

    So... that'll be a lot of connections.

    Depends on what you're interested in. There are non-topical general chat channels but they're mostly made and occupied only by just people who
    met in topical channels. At least the ones I'm in.

    I suppose channels like ##electronics are pretty off-topic chatty.

    Do a /list and take a look. Or use netsplit.de to search for channels
    relevant to your interests that have people.

    I hang out occasionally on HealthfulChat, it is geared towards mental
    health issues but there is a lounge and a philsophy chatroom that is
    active.

    There is a website which hosts the chat rooms
    https://www.healthfulchat.org/

    but is is also accessible by IRC
    irc.healthfulchat.org, port 6697


    Also IRC Nerds
    irc.irc-nerds.net, port 6697

    Ah yes, the stooges for Mr. King of Korea after his hostile take-over of Freenode who ruined IRC for everyone by attacking open source project
    channels and driving them to Matrix.

    And then fled to their shitty little network after that obviously
    failed. Cool dudes, certainly.

    Ok, there is certainly a story here that I am not quite aware of. I know Freenode had issues with someone taking it over, but that's as far as I
    know.

    The irc-nerds people freely chose to act the new network "staff" during
    the "prince"s take-over of Freenode. While Mr. "Crown Prince of Korea"
    is certainly the major asshole in the death of Freenode the irc-nerds
    were his underlings and they were the ones that did the most direct
    damage to IRC's reputation for open source projects by taking over major project channels after decades of stable use. They deserve significant
    blame for making IRC less relevant. They have never apologized or
    admitting wrong doings. They are bad people.
