IRC (Internet Relay Chat)[edit]
IRC is a text-based communication protocol for real-time messaging. It was created in 1988 and remains popular for open-source communities, gaming, and technical support.
Key Concepts[edit]
- Networks: Multiple servers linked together (e.g., Libera.Chat, OFTC)
- Channels: Chat rooms prefixed with # (e.g., #irc)
- Nicknames: Your display name
- Clients: Software to connect (see IRC Clients)
