Part of this work has been done in a14f646135c0 ("Add per-user realname setting").

I'm not sure it's worth it adding a per-user username setting, given how little IRC servers do with these and given they're overridden by ident.

Running cyberspace.baby with:

652c247f Set upstream usernames to user's username by default

d1a45fb2 Send usernames over ident, accepting privacy reduction

Bouncers are where usernames are most useful / meaningful, imo.

Can you elaborate on the motivation for this?

~mooff 10 months ago

With no account, we connect you to our IRCd as ~username@cyberspace.baby.

Registered, you're username@cyberspace.baby, and can use BOUNCER to connect to other networks.

Motivation is to explore federation / identity based around that.

But, I thought appearing as foo@chat.sr.ht to other networks would be useful for your service, too.

For access lists, bans, knowing who you're talking to, etc.

Also, it's just cool.
