I tested out revolt and element. Out of the two element seems to be the most well rounded. What do you people use to replace discord to protect your privacy?

      I was going to say: is IRC not still a thing?

      Don’t many of the IRC servers expose your IP address and have bots that store every chat message?

        For a foss project irc logs of channels are important makes irc into google able knowledge. For privacy, use matrix and encryption.

      How do you set this up? Do you use two seperate apps or are there apps that integrate both?

        It’s separate, but you can use Matterbridge to connect the chat if you really want.

        Alternatively you can use Jitsi Meet, which can be integrated with Ergo and an IRC webclient like Convos, but that isn’t a simple setup then anymore.

      Yeah I hope IRC sees a renaissance again. The late 90s/early 2000s IRC scene was a major vibe. But so was the internet in general back then.

      I got on IRC recently to see how things were these days and everywhere I went was really dead. Felt like a shadow of its former self.
