How to run an IRC channel
Useful commands to help run our IRC channel irc://irc.libera.chat/neomutt
Register Nick:
Before you can become a channel operator, you need to register your nick. This will prevent other people from impersonating you.
/msg nickserv register <password> <email>
Then validate your email address. Each time you connect to the server, you can then identify yourself:
/msg nickserv identify <password>
Register Channel:
Registering a channel prevents others taking it over when you’re not present.
/msg chanserv register #<channel>
