I'm trying to figure it out and I have no idea and I can't find any
helpful videos. This is getting a bit annoying at this point.

You have:

 LimeChat - http://limechat.net/mac/

Textual - https://www.codeux.com/textual/

Colloquy - https://colloquy.app/

If you use the terminal command line you have irssi, weechat, and
maybe a few others. I don't know since I don't use mac.

XChat Azure is an easy one. As for using an IRC client,
https://fedoramagazine.org/beginners-guide-irc/ can get you started.

I would like to use terminal. However I don't know how to set it up
(irssi). Could you point me in the direction of a walkthrough?

Easiest way would be to 1) install Homebrew (https://brew.sh/) then 2)
`brew install irssi`

Once you have it installed you can check out the irssi quick start
guide: https://irssi.org/documentation/startup/#first-steps

From a beginner with irssi, just keep figuring out. It's the best way
to get familiar. Don't ask how, just do it. If something breaks or you
can't figure out then read the docs and even after that the error
can't be solved then maybe consider to ask. It's just fun getting your
hands dirty and noone guiding you.

Thank you for this! I've installed it and I've been reading the docs,
I really appreciate it.

Thank you for responding, I chose to go with irssi instead.

Thanks for responding. I'll try, it's just that, I'm not very
technically competent and it gets frustrating when I'm confused and
don't know what to do.
