I use Mutt and Lynx on a Linux box just to remember the good old days. I have a text-mode Mastodon client too, a little difficult to navigate, but it kinda replicates the old IRC feel.
I do have an IRC client, but I’m not patient enough to remember the keybindings to switch channels. Lol.
Yeah I’m not worried about offending people who wear fur suits and jack off to cartoons.
