I hope they enjoy communicating in plaintext, not having any chat history and being unable to send images.

None of these is actually true with IRCv3:

- client/server communication is IRC-over-TLS by default when using modern servers, e.g. Ergo, but afaik also Libera/OFTC/etc support TLS [1]

- Ergo comes with a built-in bouncer, you get all the history according to whatever Ergo has set as retention [2]

- client have now support file uploads too [3]
