What do I, uh, do?
IRC is not a unified platform; it is a protocol. What you're doing is connecting to a server (QuakeNet) which would only give you access to QuakeNet's IRC channels. The FES IRC server is entirely separate from QuakeNet.
To use the FES IRC you only need to go to https://irc.tfes.org/
You can also connect with your own client with:
Server: irc.tfes.org
Port: 7000 (requires SSL)
Chat room: #theflatearthsociety
This is all found in the OP of this thread which I highly suggest you read.
I'll have you know I am functionally illiterate and have no idea how IRC works as I use discord.
