And tell them how to register the nickname, and tell them how to log in, and tell them how to list rooms and join them. Then teach them about op codes.
(Lack of) Ease of use is a big reason for IRC's loss in popularity.
- swiley 5y agoYou don't need to register a nickname (I didn't when I used freenode) In the clients I mentioned listing and joining rooms works the same way it does on discord and slack: you open the list and click the ones you want to join.
- SamoyedFurFluff 5y agoDiscord/Slack already has a bunch of those things- how to mute channels is a big one, as well as how to change ones nickname, how to get a role, and managing permissions for various channels.
- welterde 5y agoRegistration is a bit of a sore point (and is being worked on in the IRCv3 WG), but login, ops, channel listing, etc. afterwards isn't - that's all handled quite well by modern graphical IRC clients.
