Can someone explain me why Rizon is not as famous as Freenode,swear to
god every time I want to ask something I have to leave Rizon due to
its lack of support. Also why doesn't Freenode offer cloaks by default
like Rizon? Srsly having to ask a staff member for a bloody VHost is
ridiculous

EFnet = *first IRC network, it's there for geeking, chatting, friends
etc. you can talk about everything and almost everything is allowed.

Rizon = Warez stuff, mostly anime, not sure they care about support,
if you're there you should already know how to setup stuff and
download from channels etc. (IMO that's more what they think).

freenode = new network, all setup to be a great and kind learning
community.

Also, they don't get paid, they support and answer if they want to
really.

Relax, idle, chat, flirt, say some bullshit and enjoy, IRC is still
awesome :)

freenode is used by open source projects while rizon is for casual
chat

>Can someone explain me why Rizon is not as famous as Freenode,

Because freenode is all about open source. You have almost every
flavor of linux on that network and tons of open source software on
the network.

Lets take a walk down history lane...

Why would I want to hangout on a network like that?

> swear to god every time I want to ask something I have to leave
Rizon due to its lack of support.

What exactly are you asking?

Why? Afraid of some script kiddy getting your IP address?

You can always hide behind a bouncer, vpn, proxy, shell, or whatever
you want.

If you are really paranoid, hide behind freenode's tor-sasl, ignore
CTCP/DCC, and don't click random links. Someone might be hosting a
website and get your IP from you opening that link.

Freenode, new?

LMAO!

 I was on Open Projects Network (aka Freenode) back in 1997.  It's not
new, but perhaps it's new to you?

In 2018 EFNet is for neckbeards too. Also rizon is more active, I
can't understand why people prefer lurking in whatsapp-like irc
servers but not rizon if they want have fun?

Lol yeah sorry, I was on irc too back in 95-96 and for some reasons we
always saw freenode like “the new network”.

Just use all three and others.  I'm the Dalnet, Efnet, Freenode,
Ircnet, Snoonet and sometimes on the Undernet and Rizon.  Freenode is
usually but not only a support network, it's was more in the past then
present.
