@jonty and then so many channels have public logs anyway! and who knows who’s bouncer is running on a box last upgraded in 2015?

there are reasonable infrastructure reasons why networks don’t have message history as an option but that doesn’t mean the lack of message history is a good thing. even the good reasons are to a large extent accidents of history

@jonty I keep thinking that step 1 of modernising IRC is turning on the chat history extension and step 2 involves your IRC server disconnecting anyone who tries to login with emacs, irssi or basically any IRC client with a featureset stuck in 1993

@uint8_t I feel like right now I'd rather we had more rails than more trains. Once we've done that we should definitely build more trains though
