I want something simple that works for my family and myself. We used Discord, but for when they pull their next stunt, I want to be ready and having something working already.

What do you all use?

Ergochat in combination with Goguma, Halloy and maybe ObsidianIRC. But I would also recommend you look into other options than IRC for a family chat.

My recommendation would be XMPP with https://snikket.org/
