 It seems that at least on ircd-ratbox networks, requesting /list in Tor
 Messenger will only return channels that lack a topic. Even if this does
 not occur on IRC networks with other software, I believe this is still an
 issue as LIST should work on any proper IRCd software, *especially*
 something as stable as ratbox.

 This is likely an Instantbird issue but their bug tracker is down.

 I have attached a debug log including the LIST request and response, but
 essentially it looks like this for each channel with a topic:

 [17 01 15 21 40 24] ERROR (@ prpl-irc: ircHandlers._handleMessage

 Error running command 322 with handler RFC 2812:

 topic.normalize is not a function
