UmWerker 🕊 ☮️ 🤘Jetzt habe ich die Schnauze voll von #weechat und #LiberaChat 🤯
Keine Ahnung, wer von beiden dafür verantwortlich ist, aber immer wird mein Name benutzt, mit dem ich in meinem PC angemeldet bin. Alleine das ist eine FRECHHEIT! Mit welchem Benutzername ich auf meinem lokalen Computern arbeite, geht euch einen SCHEIßDRECK an 🤬
Da ich vor Jahren schon mal registriert war und nicht bemerkt habe, dass mein PC-Login missbraucht wurde, erhalte ich nun permanent Fehlermeldungen über einen unzulässigen Anmeldevorgang. Ja, weil da Daten in unzulässiger Weise abgegriffen wurden, die NICHTS, aber so was von überhaupt nichts, auf fremden Servern zu suchen haben!
Dies als "default" zu setzen ist ein Unding. Nein, ich habe es nicht geschafft, diese Unsitte abzustellen. Und jetzt ist es mir auch egal. Verzichte ich eben auf meine Beteiligung auf #irc Kanälen.
Mannomann bin ich wütend 😱
Sandro Santilli 🪛 hackerUsing the Matrix plugin for weechat (weechat-matrix-rs) you can have verified sessions.
Starting verification from another device you'll get a <server>.verification buffer opened with a message "You have requested this device to be verified", then you:
/verification accept
This produces the emoji and shows them, both on the other device and in your weechat buffer (cool, unicode emoji!).
You check and if they match you:
/verification accept
Done !

itaikoI heard about Discord… really sucks, cuz I'm in a lot of Discord chats, although I mostly use only one channel the most.
Anyways, I run my own IRC server, anyone can visit.
To get started, depending on your OS, I recommend a good IRC client.
On Linux: Konversation for graphical, weechat/irssi for terminal.
On Windows: Hexchat. At least, that's what I used when I last used Windows.
On MacOS: I don't recommend paying for an IRC client, but instead installing Homebrew and using the ones listed for Linux above.
Once you have an irc client, login to the following:
sparktown.xyz, port 6667(if you don't care about TLS) or 6697(If you do).
Be sure to set a nick, and if you need help registering, let me know!
I was going to try to run an XMPP/Jabber server and it initially was going well but then all the options got in the way, lol. I might try again later. Same for Matrix. There's also Signal, Session and Stoat/Revolt chats. Anyways, try out my IRC server if you want, thanks!

CX-7Honestly, IRC is the most fun I’ve had online in ages. Simple, fast, and no-nonsense. I’ve been using it for about 4 months now, mainly connecting to Libera.Chat.
I personally prefer using WeeChat because I enjoy the terminal-based workflow, but there are plenty of other great clients like Irssi or HexChat depending on your style. It’s a great way to find focused communities.
