I just wish they all played better with proxies and shit.

IRC is a very simple protocol (not platform). It's text chat. Nothing more. Keyword chat. Can proxy it or plug it into Tor or I2P easy pz. Then you have all the security in the world without bloat.

It is still used in the open source dev for, suprise suprise, chat. Also meetings. Shit like message persistence doesn't matter because IRC is just for coming to a room and chatting, like real life. It's not for async discussion. It's not a mailing list or a forum. Chat format is really bad for that anyway once it becomes anything more than a small friends group. Message persistence shoehorns async forum features into chat so I say it's outright evil actually. Only terminally online trannies care to comb through past chats. Of course it's trivial to run an bouncer or an IRC logger accessible on the web if you want. Discordfags install billion bots for all sorts of useless shit already.

"Serious" wide audience discussions on the internet should be done async anyway, like mailing lists and forums, not real time chat. Internet is global. Projects are all dead. People come and go at different times.

I believe jannies are supposed to only see a hash of IP.

>IRC exposing your IP not being a feature
How else do you flex the cool domain you own for your shell? This is why EFNet will always reign supreme.

People ITT can't wrap their head around the concept that you're not supposed to register and own a nickname like an account on the web and that you are your ident@host, not your nickname.

>I live with the input lag.
have you tried mosh?
it's basically an ssh wrapper which add instant local echo (can see what you type locally, as it sends the keystrokes to the server), in addition to roaming and flaky connection support
it's intended for mobile connections, hence MObile SHell, but it's great otherwise as well for high latency connections in general where you want to type stuff

All of these have horrible clients that are unusable unless you maximize the window to eat your whole desktop. With irssi inside the terminal I can keep a small window on the side and still see more lines than with any of those bloated whitespace abusers. No, I don't want to scroll for 15 minutes to see what was said 16 minutes ago. No, I'm not going to create my own client just to fix this. If the developers can't even get this right then they have no business creating clients. Oh boy, an update brought 20 more sóyface stickers! Who gives a fuck. Anyone using them even once should kill themselves twice.
