Adding on, because I seem to have missed on of your points:
IRCnet is quite accessible in Europe, a lot of Universities still run
infrastructure and if you need a horde of servers to connect to, just ask.

There is def. no need to hate on the choice of network or exclusivism, or the
Germans not wanting to change or include folks. IRCnet is kinda traditional
over here, and using IRC has nothing to do with being adverse to change, but
utilising something that's simple and ... you know ... just works without
"Brimborium" as we say.

Sorry for having been triggered,
Elmar.

If they want more usage, I suggest moving off ircnet. It's a rather closed
network, in that it's somewhat difficult to connect if you're not a member
of a participating organization. But I suppose that's the German way.

What exactly are you trying to hate on?

That IRC channel has existed for way over a decade. And honestly, somebody who
can get a router to do RPKI will have zero problem installing irssi. Whatever
you're making up there, it's made up.
