title: IRC
x-toc-enable: true
...
We have chat rooms (IRC based, on the libera network), which can be used for
members of the community to contact each other:
The *+s* flag is set on all of these channels, so that someone can\'t know
you\'re in these channels when they run *whois* on your IRC nick. The only way
for someone to know is if they join those channels and see you there.
These are *safe spaces*. You are free to be yourself here, without judgement.
- [\#transchat](https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.libera.chat:6697/#transchat)
This is a support channel, for people who need support. It is not a social
channel. For general socializing/discussions (even about things that are
off-topic in a trans support group), go to the ##transchat-social channel (see
below):
- [\#transchat-social](https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.libera.chat:6697/#transchat-social) (general
lobby or meeting place for the community, for people of all gender
identities whether female, male, non-binary, etc. Anyone is welcome.
Intersex people and eunuchs are also welcome. This is for socializing.
Support goes in the main channel!)
- [\#transchat-nsfw](https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.libera.chat:6697/#transchat-nsfw) -
sensitive topics go here.
The above links are for *web based* chat, but you can also use other IRC
clients on GNU+Linux, BSD, MacOS, Windows, Android, Replicant, iOS etc
(GNU+Linux, BSD or Replicant highly recommended, for your
[freedom from tyranny as a
computer user](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html).
Information for connecting to IRC is as follows:
- Server: irc.libera.chat
- Port: 6697
- TLS/SSL encryption is **required** on this port. You must enable encryption
- Channels are ##transchat, ##transchat-social, ##transchat-nsfw and ##transchat-meta (make sure to
use *two* hashes instead of one).
Whether you use the web chat, or a non-web based IRC client, it is highly
recommended that you register your nick. Type this into IRC for information
about how to register your IRC nickname:
/msg nickserv help register
