@Moon I have been trying to coax it into working with a bouncer so I can make some janky middleware for it, mostly so I don't have to run two accounts. I haven't made much progress yet because it consistently crashes after receiving the names list for the channels. If you like, I could ask the oper of this particular network how he made it go.
Microsoft Chat cries out for a free-software reimplementation. Best thing they ever did.

@ullard if he's willing to share i'm interested, it's not a big deal though. yeah it just crashes immediately on connection when i use it

@ullard but yeah it might be just better to eventually do a reimplementation. ircv3 has websocket support, probably can just make a web frontend

For anyone lurking: it totally works in Wine on GNU/Linux: https://shadowm00n.neocities.org/tech/comic_chat.html
Couple it with Xpra for detached screen/tmux-like behavior for great good.

@Moon It's enormous fun. If it became more accessible and stable I can see it being a big hit on Fediverse-adjacent circles.
