*IRCnet is dying network, one of the first ones, and it has no centralized
|
||
management, so nothing new ever happens there.*
|
||
|
||
I left IRCnet today because I have gotten enough unwanted PMs (Private
|
||
Messages). Mostly there was nothing bad in them, but I have long history
|
||
with IRC harassment so I get very anxious every time I receive a message
|
||
from sender I don't know or more importantly [have approved].
|
||
|
||
* [freenode-harassment] - freenode staff had zero interest to doing
|
||
anything so I released the most troubling content.
|
||
* [ircassholes] - site where you can submit people who...

||
There are also other missing features:
|
||
|
||
* [TLS (over IRC in this blog)] - Encrypted connection between you and the
|
||
server.
|
||
* Services - NickServ, ChanServ etc. NickServ allows nicks to be registered
|
||
so you can be sure that you talk to the person and not someone who
|
||
stole their nick for imposting and doing bad things as you. ChanServ
|
||
again allows channel registration and having access list so all ops
|
||
can always be opped automatically and voiced people voiced etc.
|
||
* [IRCv3] - Modernizing the IRC protocol with many improvements, such as
|
||
[away-notify] which makes server tell you every time someone on common
|
||
channel goes /away or returns. I mention this, because it decreases
|
||
bandwidth a lot as clients don't have to `/who`-poll to see which people
|
||
are away. Away-notify is also faster.
