...Yeah. From installing znc from your favourite package manager to having it set up and running in your client is all of ten minutes, with SSL, auto-joins, channel history and all. Is it a barrier? Yeah. Is it so much of a barrier that it would push someone concerned about centralized services and proprietary software to just give up and use Slack? I don't think so.
- icebraining 7y agoNot all of us have a server in the closet running 24/7, and having to use someone else's computer feels like half the way to using a service like Slack.
- askafriend 7y agoI don't know what any of this "znc", "package manager", "SSL", "auto-join" mumbo jumbo is. I'm just going to use Slack and move on with my life. Actually I lied, I do know what all that mumbo jumbo is, but I hope you get my point.
