about Quassel IRC and LimeChat · Jun 2011 · Helpful Not helpful -4 Helpful Report as spam

TheRaven7 · Oct 2012

I use Quassel and haven't had to sign up for any account with them.

Pacien · Oct 2016

Quassel is self-hosted (client+core), no registration on any third-party service is necessary nor possible.
(Of course you may register on IRC networks you connect to.)
