More on the #Freenode takeover battle, #IRC history, and competing chat services ( such as #Discord and #Matrix ).

#Freenode #IRC network facing battle for control between London Trust Media ( claimed owner, also owns #PIA #VPN service and other IRC and VPN networks ) and the volunteers who actually run the network. https://litter.catbox.moe/2mfpli.txt
I'm sure there are other places to get a more balanced view. This is just the first thing I've seen besides vague rumors.

LOL. Someone called "sweet_lady" tried to PM me in #IRC.
Blocked, but I can imagine the conversation.

Me: go away

Every once in a while, I try to assist in #IRC for a small number of specific projects. Sometimes, being an English-only speaker hinders that.

Controversial update to #BucketScript riles the #Ocaml / #ReasonML community
I was just thinking (thanks to an #IRC discussion this morning) about breaking changes in programming languages and how often they split the community (or get rolled back, sometimes before an official release). Examples: #Perl 6 (now called #Raku) was originally a replacement for Perl 5, but became its own separate language (and I’m hearing that Perl 7 is facing rough sailing with the language’s community, too); #PHP 6, with radical changes that were scaled way down (PHP 6 was skipped, but later parts of the 5.x series and the 7.x series implemented some of the proposed changes). Then I come across this.

@musicman I know I don’t use #IRC to its full potential. Maybe once I actually get my #vaporware socnet project going, I’ll have a reason to learn it better. Use a CLI client and a bouncer, use slash commands, spin up an eggdrop. Learn to kick and ban troublesome users.
For now, Quassel and a #Matrix bridge are good enough.

#Riot (Riot-Android) recently introduced an issue where “favorite” rooms disappeared from the favorites list each time the program starts. There is a new version now, but so far, “install failed” on both of the devices I attempted to update.
This is yet another hurdle that #Matrix has to get over. Besides all the problems people are noting with the server implementation (Synapse), the clients seem to be low quality.
I no longer have any contacts where we can 1:1 over Matrix. They’ve all been driven off by bugs ? ... in particular, the end-to-end encryption gave lots of “unable to decrypt this message”. I’m told that has ended, but there’s no one to test it with.
I currently use Matrix mostly for the bridges to #IRC.

@adcock No, they just are not doing support via #IRC anymore. If you need support, use their forums. Continue to use #Palemoon if you like.
-
The #Freenode #IRC room for #Palemoon browser has been retired.

#Freenode #IRC is doing a db purge soon. If you have accounts or channels that are not being used, they'll be removing them.

The #Matrix (at least matrix.org) bridge to #Freenode #IRC just went down again. That's most of what I use Matrix for, so that's not good.
-
#Matrix is a lot less interesting without the #IRC bridge.
-
Hmm. It seems the #Matrix bridge to #Freenode #IRC is still down after the Freenode server reconfig yesterday.

After years of using the #Quassel #IRC client, I figured out how to display date-time stamps. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/257030

Personally, I never liked #IRC, so I quickly stopped using it back in the late #1990s. Sometime in the 2000s or 2010s, I started to use #SILC (through their CLI client based on the "irssi" IRC client), and only through SILC did I learn to tolerate IRC. Today, I almost always use IRC through bridges to #Matrix or #XMPP MUCs.
And even though I usually have multiple terminal windows open on my desktop, I only use GUI IRC clients.
-
@storm Can you tell @Diogo and @xrevan86@loadaverage.org about it in the #IRC?
-
#ReactOS moved its primary discussion channels to #Mattermost. https://reactos.org/project-news/new-discussion-platform The #IRC rooms are currently bridged to MM rooms.
This happened a few months back, but I just saw it today.

@geniusmusing @diogo
.
Ah, crud! That used to be open. I'm off work now, so I'll return to #IRC in a few minutes.

@bob @maiyannah #Mozilla had a rudimentary chat client (I think it did #IRC and #XMPP) embedded in #Thunderbird, but it was garbage, so no one used it.
