omg someone implemented voice chat over #irc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R--_ATzE6o

@fitheach interesting. Maybe that's something to do with the room settings? I'm very new to using #Matrix. I'll ask the group if we want people to be able to look at our chat without joining the group. If anyone is keen to help us bridge the #VOICE room so folks can join in using #Jabber, #IRC, etc, please get in touch.

#Wire is an #Electron app too. I still find it better than using the web app. When I care a lot more about resource usage than #UX (eg when recording a podcast with a remote co-host or guest) I use #Mumble. It would be cool if someone forked the Mumble clients and replaced the #IRC-a-like UI with an IM one.

@humanetech this is all sounds great. I drifted away from #CreativeCommons over similar frustrations with the monolithic, NGO-industrial complex model of their organization. I suspect a quiet influx of #DataFarmer and #VultureCapitalists into the management and governance, to tip it away from critique of the #CopyWars and towards the celebration of freely-licensed work corporations can draw on without giving back to the commons. The move from #IRC to #Slack is an example of the rot setting in.

@Wolf480pl ae, I've definitely come across this one. It's a classic black/white. The two options are #IRC or #Discord (or #Slack or whatever), and since Discord is proprietary, we must defend IRC come hell or high water. The fact there are a multitude of third options never seems to be noticed by the "nationalists" on either side of the debate. Here's some FWIW:

@dwaltiz I think #Matrix in general is being used less except for some large special-interest rooms and some rooms about specific Matrix server or client software.

The other thing that Matrix is good for, accessing #IRC via the Matrix-IRC bridge, is hampered by the bridge failing to complete login when it reconnects.

@jgmac1106 to be fair, those 10 websites spread the most "fake news" because they are largest hosts of user-generated content. If all the users of those 10 websites moved to the #fediverse, then that would become the largest online source of "fake news". It's worth remembering that long before the web #BBS, #UseNet, and #IRC communities were sources of "fake news", and before the net, it came from tabloids, fringe magazines (like #Nexus), zines, samizdat pamphlets, and so on. It's not new.

Why bother with a pesky web app when you can use IRC for everything?

It's really annoying to get disconnected from #IRC channels every time my phone switches networks. From one provider to the next? Disconnect. From mobile to wifi? Disconnect. From one wifi to another? Disconnect.

This may be particular to my IRC client. How is your experience with this?
