I found myself loving what this guy writes about IRC, and I think a lot of his words will go straight to the heart of specially the older nerds here on Lemmy.

Hope you enjoy.

It works out of the box and completely painlessly with The Lounge.

It web based so some might not be a fan, but for mobile use it's pretty great. Just install as PWA on Android or iOS and it's pretty seamless.

I have heard a few people mention using it.

It looks nice. But I assume it's sending messages in clear text? Im using Element a bit (https://element.io/) but it doesn't feel as fun as Lemmy. I guess it can be great for general chatting in real time though.

It's an IRC client, so yes everything is plain text. IRC is a very basic protocol, no encryption or anything other than TLS for your connection to the server.
