New way to communicate? #2965

Closed B0pol closed 4 years ago

B0pol commented 4 years ago

OG post:

I was thinking about a new way to communicate. Right now, we have IRC, and mailing list?(dead link for me). The problem of IRC is, you have to be connected to see discussions, you can't connect 5 mins later and see previous discussions.

Read the discussion below, we ended up concluding we'd stay on IRC. The best way if you still don't like IRC and want to have features of a modern communication plateform is to use a bridge through matrix.org (use a matrix client, for example Riot, then join #freenode_#newpipe:matrix.org), or XMPP (see https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/2965#issuecomment-578209839 and https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/2965#issuecomment-592680480). You will be able to see old messages, send images or long messages directly without other services…

Most FOSS communities are moving or have moved to Matrix. So the momentum is there. Your case happens to be a special one, but if you stick around you're likely to get involved in more FOSS communities over time. We stuck with IRC both for backwards compatibility and because Matrix bridges to it.
