Just out of interest I thought I'd try irssi.  Never used it before.  My 
workstation is running Debian 10.

I installed irssi with:

$ sudo apt install irssi

Then invoked it and connected to A&A's server with:

/connect -tls irc.aachat.net

and got straight in there (except it warned me that my nick was owned by 
someone else).

Do you have the following?

john at knight:/etc/ssl/certs$ ls -l ISRG_Root_X1.pem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 Sep 11  2020 ISRG_Root_X1.pem -> 
/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/ISRG_Root_X1.crt
john at knight:/etc/ssl/certs$ md5sum ISRG_Root_X1.pem
118ecd744d864b32ffdb48b2e29f1d7f  ISRG_Root_X1.pem
john at knight:/etc/ssl/certs$

Cheers,
John
