How to use matrix as an IRC client to join #fsci
- See this guide for freenode specific instructions
- On Matrix, open a new chat (with Riot app this is the "+" sign on the bottom right)
- Invite @oftc-irc:matrix.org to the new chat
- Say !nick <yournick>
- A request for new chat with NickServ will pop up (if not invite @_oftc_NickServ:matrix.org). Accept it.
- Send "REGISTER <password> <email>" to register your nickname.
- "identify <password>" can be used to authenticate (in case the bridge reconnects)
Fighting IRC spam
The following commands should be sent to @oftc-irc:matrix.org for OFTC channels or @appservice-irc:matrix.org for Freenode channels.
Unlist the room from directory' This effectively stops all mass spamming attacks.
- From Matrix:
!cmd MODE #<channel name> +s
- From IRC:
"/mode #<channel name> +s"
1. Quiet all unregistered users:
- From Matrix:
"!cmd MODE #<channel name> +q $~a"
- From IRC:
"/mode #<channel name> +q $~a"
2. Add Matrix users to the exemption list
- From Matrix:
- For Freenode:
"!cmd MODE #<channel name> +e *!*@gateway/shell/matrix.org/*"
- For OFTC:
"!cmd MODE #<channel name> +e *!*@2001:470:1af1:101:*"
- From IRC:
- For Freenode:
"/mode #<channel name> +e *!*@gateway/shell/matrix.org/*"
- For OFTC:
"/mode #<channel name> +e *!*@2001:470:1af1:101:*"
