Honestly I am quite technical an user and I really haven't stumbled upon an IRC client that I really like, approximately in the same way as I enjoy using a well-designed toaster. The one I used the longest was the one in Emacs! Discord is kinda pretty ok if you forget about the corporate side.
There are guides to getting books you want on IRC. I haven't used them for fiction but they seem to have the goods. I suspect you can figure out the rest yourself.
Tbh I'm not entirely sure it's a coherent category? I like plenty of functionnal programming things and some of them I want to see in imperative contexts as well.
I'm just a little dubious about many categorizations.
I think the closest thing to a good answer would have to deal with discourse norms. Putting some boundaries for asking questions is arguably good, actually, if the goal is to foster some kind of understanding. Especially if the norms are set up so that every answer must be up to a demanding standard, an easy way to try to control the discourse is just asking questions, since it's a cheap tactic.
With teens though, you probably should cut some slack. Growing up in a bullshit world necessarily leads to bullshitting in the people growing up.
Honestly seeing the length scared me, but his lucid argument that Tokimeki memorial is more cyberpunk than things visually resembling cyberpunk sold me.

Yeah, the Yuzu blogger seems pretty good at turning bugfixes into stories.
