    Both completely fail to do what users need from a service.

      ircv3 adds a lot of features and convenience. but i guess you’re talking about the people.

        No I meant the software. People are bad everywhere. Guess I haven’t used it in a while. Does it have reactions? Native saving of conversation history? Threads?

          yes, yes, and uh… i don’t know. it could be added i suppose, the big thing ircv3 added is a modular capabilities system so it’s basically become extensible while remaining backwards-compatible. personally, threads just feels like one of those things that get in the way 90% of the time, and if you really want to spin out a conversation you can just create an ad-hoc channel.

    Usenet was great until the big spammer who’s name I don’t remember ruined all the text groups and all the ISP’s stopped offering them for free
