Since the hole 🕳️ #Discord not taking privacy seriously..
-
@stux in my humble opinion discord is seeing mass use not because of lack of IRC servers but because IRC objectively sucks compared to discord. And I'm saying that as an avid IRC user sice its heyday. The absolute worst part of IRC are the IRC clients. They are atrocious both on mobile and on desktop.
@stux IRC is already severely lacking in features but the IRC clients don't usually support even the existing limited featureset...

@stux is IRC really relevant as a chat solution?
(yes, I know there are many servers, and people still use it. and I'm happy for those users) but from what I can tell it's just a very old protocol that people who are used to Discord won't be satisified with both from a feature standpoint and a moderation standpoint.

It's been a while I see communities leaving dinosaur IRC for Matrix.
Why not this or XMPP (with Monal, ConversationsIM, Snikket or Quicksy)?

@stux I'd say host a Matrix server for your community instead. Disable federation if you're concerned with server resources. Disable encryption by default if you're concerned with non-savvy users that will regularly lose their history. Savvy users will enable it anyway.
