If the irc bridge is enabled (admins for your slack setup have to do
that, it's not set up by default), ircs (http://plan9.fi/src/ircs.tgz)
works fine for me for connecting to it, though I don't use it in acme.

The only major caveats are that it doesn't do message replay (set up
your own znc or check a different client on startup) and you have to
grep MOTD to see any unnamed channels (group privmsgs) you might've
been added to. For the most part they did a surprisingly decent job
of making the irc bridge stand on its own.

Enjoy all the annoying :emoji:.
