Why should I use Snoonet over a network like Freenode or EFNet?
Raw
why-snoonet.md
  • Snoonet is a network run by redditors, for redditors.
  • Thousands of redditors are already on Snoonet every day. Hundreds of subreddits are here as well. It's a centralized hub for redditors.
  • We can provide better security and support, because we focus primarily on reddit users and reddit communities.
  • Channel bots created specifically for redditors.
    • rAnnouncer - automatically posts to the IRC channel when there is a new message in the subreddit
    • RedditBot - allows users to view information about subreddits from IRC - karma, subscribers, mods
    • AutoFalc0n - community-accessible CloudBot, provides Googling, link announcement, and most common bot functions
    • memebot - provides a way to quickly create meme pictures - http://i.imgur.com/GYNG7cK.jpg
  • Priority enforced for reddit nicks and channels - no longer have to use a "#reddit-subredditname" channel format, simply "#subredditname" will do. Also, if you own the username on reddit, you will be able to use it with NickServ on Snoonet.
  • Working on integration with Reddit Enhancement Suite
  • Policies and philosophies specifically catered to reddit communities. All staff members have extensive experience moderating reddit communtities, and that experience translates into a staff which understands the needs of subreddit owners. We will accommodate your subreddit's needs, within reason.
  • Custom webchat built in cooperation with Snoonet administrators. More modern and easier to use than qwebirc.

Can you elaborate on this?

If someone already registered a nick "username" and a user with a verifiable Reddit account wishes to re-claim the nick because he is u/username, he can do so at any time he want? No strings attached?

Pretty much @XPMai, unless there's some exception. But this Gist is 6 years old. Pop into #help on Snoonet for an up-to-date answer.
