Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮A really annoying thing that absolutely needs to stop:
- "More info in the discord!" / "Changelog in the Discord!"
STOP THAT.
Discord is a closed, proprietary platform. Post your stuff on the actual open web where more people will see it.
enoch_exe_inc@gamingonlinux On that note, we really need to fix up #Matrix as a viable alternative to Discord. It’s either that or we bring back #IRC.
MeaTLoTioN@enoch_exe_inc @gamingonlinux Matrix has worked well for me for years, I would recommend that absolutely. I also love IRC.
@meatlotion @enoch_exe_inc @gamingonlinux It still needs some polishing, in my opinion, but I use Matrix for all my secure communications/ambiguously legal fan art.
counterindurationMatrix is just the horrible hyped shitshow that xmpp was all over again. People are simply not interested in analysing the technology or the alternatives. They just jump on the hype train.
@counterinduration @enoch_exe_inc can you explain what you mean by shitshow? I haven't noticed any issues with Matrix, I've been using it for ~6 years. It's not perfect, but it's never done me wrong, but interested to learn what has caused you issues.
HappyStarDiaz@enoch_exe_inc @gamingonlinux #BringBackIRC pro tip it's actually still there. v3 has some nice quality of life stuff. I've been running ergo ircd for a few years, so easy even a dummy like me can do it
@happystardiaz @enoch_exe_inc @gamingonlinux I wonder if the #Minecraft IRC is still active. I used to come home after school to, one, play pre-Alpha Indev Minecraft, and two, log onto the Minecraft IRC server to chat. I’ve even had the luck of once being online with Notch himself.

While i am still on IRC, this is nothing to seriously consider for uses here
Its only a realtime chat, without essential groups group functions, as preserving offline chat history and sharing files
Matrix has its own issues (that seem to have not much priority to fix), but overall it appears to me the best platform for community and project support
Matrix espically has federation for anyone to use any server, no single point of failure or central suppression
