you can build GUIs on top of IRC that abstract away from all of this and still use the underlying protocol. I am curious what you think a better alternative would be for moderation, though. It's easy to point out flaws in all moderated systems, but it would be interesting to consider what an improvement might look like
- dTal 4y agoI'm not sure what you're on about with GUIs, that doesn't seem relevant to any point I was making, but to address your other point: You're basically asking for alternative systems of government to feudalism. This has been widely studied! Parliamentary democracy is a popular system. Imagine if chanops were chosen by election.
- toolz 4y agowhen would elections be held? after N number of new people join? How would you prevent rigged elections with many bots joining to represent many votes for 1 person? Other forms of governance are in wide abundance, but implementing them on top of pseudo-anonymous chatrooms is hard and could lead to mostly benefiting malicious actors. the GUI is relevant in addressing duplicate channel names as underneath you could have UUID channels that mapped to channels named "chat" for the end user.
