Having setup and attempted to administer an IRC server, I'd say that's where the barrier exists for someone wanting to create a new community outside of the huge Freenode network.
- jiggunjer 9y agoWhy would you want to go outside freenode? They're run by a charity promoting free communication and have encryption for registered users.
- lambada 9y agoSo I want to create a new set of channels on freenode. From the home page (on mobile) I’m presented with the following page https://freenode.net/groupreg https://freenode.net/groupreg Which is a) very wordy. B) appears to essentially say “only certain kinds of groups are welcome”. C) doesn’t have a simple way of doing so instead being “reach out and discuss with us and then maybe we’ll let you set up shop here”
