Open the ChatMost chat today runs through platforms that own your data, sell your attention, or disappear when a company changes direction. CosmicIRC doesn't. We're an independent network — no ads, no algorithm deciding what you see, no corporate parent who can shut us down on a whim. Just IRC, the way it's worked for decades: simple, fast, and genuinely yours.
That independence means our community sets the tone here, not a boardroom. Connect with whatever client you already use — mIRC, HexChat, a bouncer like ZNC for staying always-online, or nothing at all if you'd rather chat straight from your browser. Every path leads to the same real conversations, with real people, in real time.
irc.cosmicirc.com on port 6697 with TLS enabled./msg NickServ REGISTER <password> <email>CosmicIRC isn't one big room — it's a set of channels, each with its own rhythm. Drop into #cosmic, our main channel, for open conversation with people from all over. Need a hand with anything? #help is staffed by real volunteers, not a bot script pretending to care. And if you're joining us from India specifically, #india has quickly become one of our liveliest spaces.
However you get here — a dedicated IRC client, a bouncer that keeps you connected around the clock, or our own web chat straight from this site — you're one command away from an actual conversation, not a queue, a captcha, or a loading spinner.
People from across India — Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad and everywhere else — are welcome on CosmicIRC. Our #india channel is new and growing, and it's a great time to join early. Learn more and join #india →
