Is Direct Connect still 'a thing'? - eviltoast

I remember using it a lot a few years ago in the early 2000s and I wonder if that’s still used…?

If it is, which client should one be using?

    There are IRC/XDCC search engines. I don’t know their exact method of scraping IRC servers, but they kinda work.

    Also, if you know the right servers and channels, most have some kind of search index or bot.
