you can use irc.tilde.chat to get a random server.

there are also four geo-round-robins available:
- au.tilde.chat
- eu.tilde.chat
- na.tilde.chat
- sa.tilde.chat

otherwise, feel free to connect directly to any of the nodes for a more local connection.
all external connections are on port 6697 with ssl/tls.

if you have an account on any of the tildes listed here, you can connect with
plaintext to localhost port 6667 from there.

once you're connected, try `/map` to see the servers listed fully.
