I'm always disappointed when I try to use it, but people still do use it. They're usually old friends and will probably censor anyone that isn't just like them and you won't know you're muted without bothering to kick you.
No way am I moving to shitcord though.
I use win7 and AdiIRC. I also use android 4.4, 5, and 7, all with androIRC and it worked for downloading files. You can get books that way for one. I'm not saying that I used all the same version though. I didn't used to want to use (((android))) and hate jewgle like any 'sane' person, so I did not used to back up apk files.
I'd use linux but installing from the tar is super hard. Apk installation usually works though and windows is easy to backup software, so I use those two things, without going beyond win7 for obvious reasons.
Last time I conversed with anons they were lainanons also. You have to change the port number if you want to talk to them from it's likely default. So pay attention to the port number if it does not connect to them.
Don't use redditor irc's nor popluar chan irc's, popular chans will be spam botted, redditors will have auto-kick bots that ban you for a while if you use a joke like "I ain't clickin' dat shit nigga" even if you use nigga, still will be likely kicked. You've been warned. They didn't USED to be that gay, but their old servers are gone I think where they used to be cool years and years ago.
Other than lainanons I've not talked to irc people much in years. Even on lainchan's irc, I was called a mouth breather by a female on it first day talking to them over my saying "choice isn't real". So, prepare for the faggot shit no matter where you go.
