- cookiecaper 11y agoMessages just like that show up in Slack whenever someone joins or parts the channel, changes the topic, etc. Not sure this is a valid complaint.
- navait 11y agoWell, in Slack, you don't leave by disconnecting, so that lowers the volume of people joining/quitting because they moved their laptop. It doesn't help that IRC tends to get used in places where massive amounts of users are expected. I feel some of the newbie clients should just hide by default join/quit spam.
- rarepostinlurkr 11y agoYou can turn all of those notices off; I've not seen those sorts of updates in channel for years & years.
- jonathankoren 11y agoTrue, but most clients have it on by default. Also on public IRC you tend to have a channels of 80 people, all idle.
