others not being able to join and see the time you said something mean about them seven years ago is a feature, actually.

not preserving centralized logs for the feds is a feature, actually.

@wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe matter of preferences there honestly - sometimes it is genuinely useful, sometimes not. depends on what you use it for

@wyatt precisely!

• Also #IRC being treated worse than literal malware isn't worth the effort.

There's a reason why #Anonymous uses IRC from the beginning!

• Because not having #logs is a feature.

Don't log any communications, ever. If you get busted and have logs of conversations, the feds will use them to bust other people. Logs are for undercover cops and informants, and have no legitimate use for someone in your position. Keep it in your head or don't keep it at all.
