Matrix or IRC if you hate yourself.
- isatty 5y agoI'm a long time user of IRC, but none of my irl friends are on it (anymore).
- Laarlf 5y agoIRC for me is a way to seek support for OSS projects and nothing else. It is not really designed to be a IM for phones...
- theshrike79 5y agoIRC is really hard to do well, since it requires a consistent TCP connection to really be useful :/
- joecool1029 5y agoCombine the parent's suggestions and use IRC over a Matrix bridge. It checks all the boxes when it works and as their comment mentioned you'll learn to hate things when it doesn't!
- Siira 5y agoI use a self-hosted web client (thelounge). It's still not good for casual IM usage IMO, but it's pretty painless.
- mehdix 5y agoI run znc on my server and Revolution IRC on my android phone and couldn't be happier about it.
- dijit 5y agoFWIW there are efforts to prevent this being required and they’re quite close to mature. I currently run an irc network with these extensions.
