I have also enjoyed and developed for irc a lot, but it's time to move on.
- outworlder 4y agoMove on to what, though? Please don't say Slack or Discord. I'm rooting for Matrix, personally.
- welterde 4y agoMatrix is still kinda rough though. And there is no real lightweight homeserver implementation yet that I could find. Client situation is not much better. Maybe I am not the target audience, but I just want a simple, lightweight and minimalist client. The only thing that comes close is gomuks and maybe the matrix-plugin for weechat (a irc client), but both are extremely buggy right now for me.
- lrvick 4y agoTry Dendrite. It is the light server you are looking for. For a minimalist client try weechat.
- floren 4y agoHave you done a Synapse -> Dendrite migration? I'd like to check it out, but there's a strong temptation to just leave things alone now that I have a working Synapse installation.
- zaik 4y agoMaybe you should have a look at the XMPP internet standard.
- toast0 4y agoBeing a hermit.
- wrayjustin 4y agoNostalgia is a hell of a drug. But IRC still has a place in the modern _hacker_ landscape.
