IRCv3 is better than Matrix or xmpp

Easier to host, easier to moderate & is able to run on 20year old hardware

#irc #matrix #xmpp

I love how nobody is defending Matrix xD

@lil5 say that you never tried to host or run #XMPP without saying so.

I run a prosody XMPP server on a Raspberry Pi 1B, which is weaker in compute performance than a Pentium 3 from 1999 (but draws significantly less power).

@pixelschubsi Cool!

Did you get calls working too? I’m trying out #convos with its jitsi integration which works great.

The #xmpp server #prosody is pretty low on resources usage. Not sure if that claim really holds. Also hosting it is not difficult. Never hosted an IRC server though.

I use #IRC channels for e.g. #Debian but the feature set is pretty limited, compared to xmpp. I never considered really using #matrix as it felt slow and buggy in my tests.

@lil5 anything open protocol is fine by me! Bridges between open protocola are (almost) trivial to build. ^^
