Hello .*,
I was waiting for the chat system discussion to start, it's good that we IT communities are so predictable :-).
My 4.99 rounded Rappen:
1) I fully understand Massimiliano's approach to "just do it" and not to think too much about the medium 2) IRC has the "disconnect/no history issue" 3) If I was to have an opinion on a chat system (hehe) I'd say we should go with matrix, as it is IRC with history+images+end-to-end-encryption, however I might not have an opinion here 4) I'm waiting for the person pointing out XMPP is the same principle 5) There is matterbridge [0] which we heavily use at ungleich, which can bridge almost anything to anything. In case we want to bridge irc to telegram to matrix to xmpp to slack and whatsapp, it's an easy thing to do.
Simon, you made my evening!
Best regards,
Nico

why telegram and not signal or threema?
Why not all! And fivema and sixma as well!!
Seriously, what was wrong with irc.swinog.ch?
Is IRC considered a boomer thing that millenials won't touch?
Just curious - I'm happy to follow everyone everywhere, but not everybody does, and I worry about fragmenting the community.
