Best IRCv3 experience on modern Mac OS?
Quassel - https://www.quassel-irc.org/ - looks like a contender and it supports MacOS, Srain (https://srain.silverrainz.me/) also has a more modern appearance and is built for GTK3 but I don't see official macOS builds available.

Online in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s.
IRC - Also still around and in some cases, the same as it ever was, albeit with a smaller user base. A list of networks can be found here, and while there are many actively developed IRC clients out there, if you don't know where to start, most people recommend HexChat. Reddit's affiliated network is called Snoonet. mIRC is still actively developed by Khaled Mardam-Bey, so by all means, feel free to give that a shot if you are so inclined.
