Almost everything you have said is false. Please cease this defamation.

>IRCv3 is an almost closed group of friends, mostly znc core developers

There is only one ZNC developer actively involved with IRCv3 (DarthGandalf) and even they have not been particularly active in the last few months.

>who have decided they can choose what the future of IRC looks like.

We accept any reasonable proposals providing you are willing to provide a strong rationale for it.

>They have put lots of pressure on and harassed other developers of clients and networks, sending them patches and infiltrating their devs if necessary, so their ideas are actually implemented.

No IRCv3 technical board member has ever forced a developer to accept patches. Some people have contributed patches to various IRC implementations in order to improve IRCv3 compliance but those patches have been accepted out of the free will of the maintainer.

>If you complain about those ideas and specs, they'll tell you to refer to their github issue tracker,

We prefer that discussions happen on the tracker rather than IRC as it is persistent and can be referred to in the future.

>they mostly ignore those who are not part of that core group I mentioned.

This is completely false. Please provide evidence of this happening.
