`no-implicit-names` Extension

Description 🔗

This document describes the no-implicit-names extension. This allows clients to opt-out from the implicit NAMES reply servers send after JOIN messages.

Some clients don’t need to query the list of channel members for all joined channels. Omitting this information can reduce the time taken to connect to the server, especially on mobile devices and when a large number of channels are joined.

Implementation 🔗

The no-implicit-names extension introduces the no-implicit-names capability. When negotiated, servers MUST NOT send an implicit NAMES reply after sending a JOIN message. Servers MUST reply to explicit NAMES commands sent by the client as usual.
