How to use matrix as an IRC client to join #fsci

  1. On Matrix, open a new chat (with Riot app this is the "+" sign on the bottom right)
  2. Invite @oftc-irc:matrix.org to the new chat
  3. Say !nick <yournick>
  4. A request for new chat with NickServ will pop up (if not invite @_oftc_NickServ:matrix.org). Accept it.
  5. Send "REGISTER <password> <email>" to register your nickname.
  6. "identify <password>" can be used to authenticate (in case the bridge reconnects)

Fighting IRC spam

Send this "!cmd MODE #<channel name> +Me *!*@gateway/shell/matrix.org/*" to @appservice-irc:matrix.org to ban all unregistered nicks except matrix bridged users (for Freenode channels).

On OFTC "!cmd MODE #<channel name> +Me *!*@2001:470:1af1:101::*" to @oftc-irc:matrix.org (For OFTC channels), though it does not seem to work, more here https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/716

If the above command does not work, quieting all unregistered nicks except Matrix users is another way.

The following commands should be sent to @oftc-irc:matrix.org for OFTC channels or @appservice-irc:matrix.org for Freenode channels.

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:*"
