This is a problem I frequently experience on LW and almost never experience elsewhere. I’m never sure if it’s because of the context or my perception of the typical LW user.
It sounds snarky… but perhaps not entirely unjustified. If I was inclined to spend time on IRC I find it highly unlikely that I’d be inclined to participate on those terms.
Replacing the former channel with a new one seems like the appropriate response—assuming there are people interested in that sort of thing who are not already part of the semi-private channel.
I honestly can’t tell if this post is a snarky complaint, or a honest piece of information, or what. - though I think snark is slightly more likely.
It looked a little unclear to me as well, but the bit about there now existing a new channel without such rules implied that it’s probably snark.
