are you my dreamer?

milkmedicine is an IRCv3 network specializing in defiant smallness. We like anime, tech, music, art, creation & internet obscura.

The internet used to dream of itself, and now we dream in its hollow husk. Come, big sister. World domination is at hand.

Connect

IRC over TLS
ircs://irc.milkmedicine.net:6697
IRC over secure WebSocket (?)
wss://irc.milkmedicine.net/webirc

No insecure connection is provided. Almost all clients support TLS today, consult your client's manual if you are unsure.

You may connect through the web client Gamja, which we provide as a low-friction (and low-feature) alternative.

If you are new to IRC you may find the Libera Chat IRC guide a good resource.

Good to know

  • The milkmedicine IRC runs on Ergo. You may want to read the Ergo user guide for more information about some features that are unique to Ergo, like always-on and chat history. Ergo reproduces many of the features that makes a traditional bouncer setup unnecessary.
  • You may register for an account using NickServ to protect your nickname, and then use SASL to authenticate on future connections. Message the NickServ user (/msg NickServ HELP) for more information on what options are available.
  • Chat history is stored in registered channels by default. This can be disabled by channel operators if desired. Keep in mind that anything you say in a channel might be seen by visitors.

Additional information may be found in the user pages.

IRC client recommendations

As milkmedicine is an IRCv3 network, it works best with clients that support modern niceties you may have come to expect as a part of your chats. This includes features such as chat history, replies and file uploads. You can review this client list for a detailed breakdown.

Halloy is recommended by the network as a desktop client, but doing your own research and experimenting with different clients will give you the best experience.
