Irc unauthenticated? IRC has supported auth services since what 1995? There are also plenty of web irc gateways so I don't understand the reasoning to move to something more complicated for little gain, want history? Run ii in a tmux session and tail to a file, want to post images with a fancy GUI taking a gig or so of ram use slack.
- incompatible 7y agoThey apparently want anyone to be able to easily connect and talk to developers, except for trolls, scammers, spammers etc. I'm not really sure what kind of authentication provides that, but they seem to have something in mind.
- maximilianburke 7y agoPerhaps something like being able to browse and search without registering, but if you want to chat you need to create an account?
- behringer 7y agoSo basically muting all unregistered users by default. Something IRC can do.
- nwmcsween 7y agoOK easy peasy have the auth services send a captcha that has to be entered to register.
- neiman 7y ago> I'm not really sure what kind of authentication provides that KYC combined with sms confirmation, CC details and a Google account. All "normal" people have and share that, what's wrong with you?! weirdo. Welcome to the web of 2019:-)
