Consider this a learning opportunity then: it is better to read documentation 
and/or a website[1] of some program, than create assumptions which might not be 
based in reality.

From the website[1]:

> ii is a minimalist FIFO and filesystem-based IRC client.

And so on...

I expected it to be interactive out of the box. A chat client, I cannot imagine 
anything except interactive abilities.

The -n foobar/j script throws an error!

I'm not aware that passing commands on the command line in this fashion is
possible. Additionally, what does "doesn't do anything" mean? Do you get output
after entering the command or does it look like it hung up?

You're aware that ii is a FIFO-based IRC client and does not provide an
interactive way of entering messages and commands by itself? You *have* to
either use the FIFO directly (via echo(1) and the usual suspects) or a frontend
which handles the I/O for you. lchat[0] might be interesting for you.
I'm sure you already know that, but I want to be certain.

I'm using 

ii -s irc.libera.chat -n foobar/j #kicad

doesn't do anything.

It's back online. You can browse it using Tor. There are some constraints and 
I'm afraid for now it will have to be so! Just IPv6.

if you have any hope of getting help with this, you should provide more
information. What exactly fails, what have you set up, etc. etc.?

By the way, it is still really irritating that your website is
IPv6-only, which locks out ~60% of internet users. I know that India is
way ahead with ~80% IPv6-capability, but this is an exception if you
look at the IPv6-support-map[0].
