Our Founding
NewNet was founded in April 1996 by nanook, who was frustrated with the policies and hierarchies of existing IRC networks at the time. The vision was clear: to create a network that was more inclusive, user-focused, and welcoming to friendly bots.
Our Mission
We are committed to evolving our network into a more fully meshed architecture, addressing the fundamental issues inherent in traditional IRC networks. Our team is continuously working to enhance our protocols and technology to make this vision a reality.
User-Centric Approach
At NewNet, one of our core values is that the network exists for the users, not for the operators. We believe that with the right technical solutions, we can eliminate the need for operators altogether, creating a network where power is not abused and the focus remains on the users.
Join Our Inclusive Community
We pride ourselves on being an inclusive network that values technical merit over friendships and connections. We welcome anyone who shares our vision and values to join us on our journey toward a better, more user-focused IRC network.
