I've switched to Matrix[1] with auto-bridging to freenode. It automatically syncs new notifications across all devices, that way when I read something on the desktop, the notifications on my phone are gone. It has a slew of other cool features, too. I use vector.im for desktop and matrix console for android. [1] http://matrix.org/ http://matrix.org/

The homepage says > Fully distributed persistent chatrooms with no single points of control or failure but looking at vector.im, channels seem to be based at specific servers, like "#matrix:matrix.org". How does that work? Also, what's the plan to deal with banning spammers and so forth if there's no central control?

  Disclosure: I'm not a matrix dev. The API intro page[1] is a good start. Basically, a client authenticates with their homeserver. Multiple homeservers can "access" a single room. There is a server-server API for synchronization. I don't know how this maps onto vector.im / matrix.org Lots of good discussion by official devs here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8997844 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8997844 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8267610 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8267610 Spammers: each room can have mods / admins, just like in IRC. I don't know how bans are enforced on a technical level. [1] http://matrix.org/docs/spec/r0.0.1/intro.html http://matrix.org/docs/spec/r0.0.1/intro.html

I spent 20 minutes with this the other day and could not get connected to anything on Freenode. The user interface for this is just about as friendly as IRC. Any pointers?

  I was just playing with Matrix too (Vector.im is a decent web interface for it), and managed to connect to Freenode by using #freenode_#channelname:matrix.org as the room name. Hope that helps!
