What IRC client do you all recommend for Android? I'm looking for a non-paid option that will allow me to connect to a passworded host. Any suggestions?

People are really still using IRC?

Of course, it's the best proto for chat, I use it actively everyday since 1997.

Please elaborate. I haven't heard of anyone using this since the early '00s. What's great about it?

So simple, no images, no videos, no bullshit this just works... Now mainly out of habits and because I have some friends on it... Also some nostalgia about the time internet was more than http and so on

So...the benefits are that it doesn't support media, habit, and nostalgia?

Ngl, in this day and age with ads and cookies riddled in every corner of the Internet. Irc sounds like a breath of fresh air!

There are plenty of messengers that don't have anything like that.
