I'm ignorant on the subject, how can hundred/thousands messages per minute be a real use case? I would expect such massive amount to be parsed by robots, not humans, and in that case why use IRC at all instead of a queue system like RabbitMQ? Maybe because it's easier to share an IRC channel than an open queue?
- kuschku 10y agoWell, take QuakeNet's #eurovision during the ESC. Tenthousand users, all spamming as fast as they can type. If that is a meaningful discussion is another topic, but many chats for live evenys, especially on Twitch, have these numbers of users and messages.
- erlend_sh 10y agoThink of it as a crowd cheering. You can't make out any single voice, but there's a coherency to the noise. In the same way, mass-chats conform around smileys and memes in response to whatever the crowd is viewing together.
