Channels
Channels are the way to get together with other people on Incorrigo Syx
What is a Channel?
When you connect to Incorrigo Syx, you can either talk to someone 1 on 1
, or you can join / create a channel
. A channel
is a group conversation that people join. You don't need to add someone, they join. But it is possible to make an invite-only channel
Channels have names that start with #. No matter what app you use, you join a channel by using this command: /join #channelname
In a channel there is a window for messages, and there is a list that shows you what other people are in there. If you join a channel which doesn't exist yet, then you will create it, and then you will have control over that channel
Channels have settings, called modes
... these settings control how the channel works. What people can say, what they can do. Who is allowed in, allowed to speak. Anything
List of Channel Modes
You don't need to know any modes, this is just the full list in case you wanted to know
Channel Messages
When you send a message to a channel, only the people in the member list can see your message. If someone isn't there when you say something, then they don't see your message. No one can read channel messages from outside of it. In the member list, people are represented by their nicknames. There is something you need to know about messages on Incorrigo Syx ...
When you leave a channel and you log off from the network, whatever conversations that you had are gone. The conversation won't be waiting for you when you come back. They aren't stored anywhere on
your computer or your phone. If someone goes through your device looking for what you were talking about, they will be very disappointed. Incorrigo Syx is a text relay network ... none of it is stored, even an operator
[someone who runs the network] can not see messages that you sent / received in a 1 on 1
conversation, or a channel they are not on when you send a message to it
Channel Privacy
On Incorrigo Syx you can be on multiple channels at the same time !
When you are on a channel, all they can see in the list is your nickname. All messages are encrypted so even a computer genius can read what you're talking about, just by being on the same wifi that you are. Likewise, when you look at the member list you will see everyone else's nickname. If you prefer to keep things that way, then that is all that they will ever see !
