Older Hexchat versions (without the [hexchat password length fix]) do not
support long passwords, which include personal access tokens from sourcehut with
limited scope. To work around this issue for sourcehut, [generate a sourcehut
personal access token] without limiting the grant (by not selecting any
permissions).
