I use a IRC client that I wrote many years ago, in PHP (which isn't the programming language I would use if I were to redo it today), on Windows, with PuTTY as the terminal emulator; I still use the same program, but now on Linux, with xterm as the terminal emulator.

[ 2.6 ms ] story [ 39.3 ms ] threadIRC is alive and kicking. It's also the better option over the likes of Discord, Slack, and other spyware masquerading as chat apps.
Have a session running on a shell host under tmux. Works perfectly for me on a desktop and a mobile ssh client.
It runs in a container, and I can keep a tab open on my phone, my work laptop and my private laptop without much hassle.
It's available on the SDF metaarray and looks really good in a terminal, so it's what I use.
