'''StarLink-IRC''', commonly abbreviated as '''slirc''' is a general-purpose [[Internet Relay Chat|IRC]] network that split from [[StarLink.Org]] (then known as just '''StarLink''') on 1. January, 1997. It inherited the goal to be a friendly and stress-free network, committed to defending its users from [[abuse]] and prohibiting channels on possibly inappropriate topics, including [[warez]] and [[cybersex]].

{{Compu-network-stub}}This means that StarLink-IRC has unusually strict rules. Rules for mentioning/advocating other networks can quickly result in a [[G-line]] and rules for language are similar to those for [[United States|American] public [[television]].

Some of the most popular channels on Starlink-IRC are channels for the [[Autistic community]], like [irc://irc.starlink-irc.org/#asperger #asperger], the oldest asperger chatroom on IRC. [irc://irc.starlink-irc.org/#autism #autism] has become less active recently, as a number of regulars have been g-lined. The Dutch language chatroom on autism is also on Starlink-IRC and is [irc://irc.starlink-irc.org/#autsider #autsider]. In this channel, anyone is welcome.
