title: Why tilde.club uses NewNet
|

## Why is the main #club IRC channel on NewNet instead of tilde.chat?
|
||||
|
||||
It's a fair question, especially if you're new to the tildeverse. The
|
||||
[tildeverse](https://tildeverse.org/) is a collection of independently run
|
||||
tilde communities, not a single server or IRC network. tilde.club was
|
||||
around before the tildeverse came along, and for a while our main `#club`
|
||||
channel was on [tilde.chat](https://tilde.chat).
|
||||
|
||||
**From deepend:** NewNet was the first IRC network I ever used, long before
|
||||
I was involved with running tilde.club. When I eventually took over
|
||||
[NewNet](https://newnet.net), I wanted to put my time and effort into
|
||||
that network.
|
||||
|
||||
There were also differences in how I thought an IRC network should be run.
|
||||
I prefer a more relaxed approach, where people have room to talk without
|
||||
feeling like every conversation is being scrutinized. That doesn't mean
|
||||
anything goes or that moderation isn't necessary. I just believe in
|
||||
using some common sense and giving people room to be themselves.
|
||||
|
||||
Rather than try to change how another network was run, I decided to focus
|
||||
on running NewNet the way I thought it should be run. That's really all
|
||||
there is to it.
|
||||
|
||||
We're still part of the broader tildeverse community. There's no need to
|
||||
pick one network over another, and everyone is welcome to hang out on both.
|
||||
Our main channel is `#club` on **irc.newnet.net**, port **6697 (TLS)**.
|
||||
You can also run `chat` from your tilde.club shell account. See the
|
||||
[IRC guide](irc.html) for other ways to connect.
