🌟 Announcing lowendirc.com – The IRC Home for the LowEnd Community 🌟

itsdeadjimitsdeadjim
in General

We’re introducing lowendirc.com – a dedicated IRC network for the LowEnd community, focused on communication, collaboration, and education.

Connection Details:

Server: lowendirc.com
Ports: 6667 & 6697 (SSL)

Web client interface is on todo list. Basically almost everything is on todo list.

This network is brought to you by @AuroraZero, @havoc, myself, and everyone else willing to contribute.

Get Involved!

If you have experience with ircd or want to contribute as an IRC operator, you're more than welcome. Come to discuss how you can help.

FAQ

âť“ Why was this created? Discord is fine.

No it's not.

I had the idea from @havoc's discussion about the quality of online communication. The scope of this server is to provide a common place of communication for the lowend community.

Whether you have a niche interest, are a provider wanting to interact with clients, or just need help or guidance, this is your space. Create a channel, invite people, and start talking, like it's 1990 again.

For those who remember IRC’s golden days - welcome back. And for those discovering it for the first time - come and see why IRC is still cool.

❓ Who’s in charge here?

You. Really.

LowEnd is a small community built on respect and collaboration. Ideally, we’ll resolve things through discussion. If we hit a dead-end: we’ll vote.

Technical contributors (like me) ensure the server runs smoothly, but any authority stops there.

âť“ What are the rules?

Don't be a dick.

âť“ What about ircop/admin?

The rules are provided by the formula:

(Don't be a dick)²

Seriously, don't. Operators are here to help. Any abuse of power will result in revocation of it.

âť“ Who decides that?

Common sense and community.

âť“ Can I do X?

If it’s legal and doesn’t disrupt anyone's service, then yes. Just don’t be a dick. (By the way spam = dick)

Let's build something nice :)

    Great to see this! <3
    Adding IPv6 to this would be better as some IRC BNCs runs only on v6 to bind a specific user to a custom vhost/IP

    and

    /join #general

    This strong level of dark temptation has to be resisted at all costs! May the Christmas Spirit help us all!

    Good job for setting it up though!

    Excellent! A favorite IRC client. I have it running now, connected to Libera.

    Also did you /join #general?

    Nope! Initially I joined only #LowEndSpirit. Now I joined #general.

    Thanks for helping. As you always do! <3

    That's not a very good way to IRC, Tom. Even stock ircII is better.

    Don't forget to install screen so you can background it.

    Either that or tmux depending on your personal preference. Tmux has nice split window features.
