It doesn't work very well for low traffic channels.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoEmail does. Right tool for right job.
- eterps 4y agoNot sure what you mean, how does email help me follow low traffic IRC channels?
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoYou shouldn't use IRC for low-traffic communications, or more precisely it shouldn't be used in the scenario where you want people to be able to receive messages while not connected to the channel. Email is the appropriate tool for these cases.
- eterps 4y agoI don't control the message frequency or member timezone/presence of existing channels that I didn't create in the first place. Also switching back and forth between email and IRC depending on frequency sounds cumbersome to me. Some niche channels can have busy weeks while being silent on others. I like how bouncers improve the UX for that situation.
