- PopeDotNinja 6y agoA lot of people like IRC. I am not one of them. I’ve never found it to be particularly pleasant to use, if it’s very feature limited.
- catacombs 6y agoIRC is fully customizable with plugins written by hundreds of people. Sure, you won't get "threads" or emoji responses to individual responses, but it's possible to add a number of features.
- PopeDotNinja 6y agoIf I'm being honest, I don't want to do a lot of work customizing anything. I want pretty good out of the box.
- catacombs 6y agoYou could also try Mumble or Matrix. I'd stay away from Slack, Discord or other proprietary services.
- hazz99 6y agoI think emoji responses are really valuable, and this is not sarcastic.
- allarm 6y agoIs it still not possible to fetch the offline history in IRC?
- catacombs 6y agoYou can enable logging and write everything to the same system as the server. For individuals, the best thing is to set up an IRC bouncer that everyone can connect to and preserve messages.
