I use IRC, too, but via an #XMPP gateway, #biboumi.

Some modern chat features are not distracting, but pretty nice and I'm missing them in IRC. Like:

- get all your messages after being offline
- message reactions
- message replies
- multi-line messages
- avatar images

Matter of taste, of course.

About #XMPP and #Email services:

@wpn `woodpeckersnest.space/eu` is running #Prosody with #conversejs webchat and #biboumi #IRC gateway for xmpp, and #Postfix #Dovecot #spamd #Roundcube for email, on #Debian Stable.

We also have an encrypted mailing list powered by #Schleuder

@Samsy @arbocenc #XMPP can run bridges (called "Transports" or "Gateways" in XMPP terms) since the early ages. And nowadays, there are modern ones with tight integrations: #Slidge being a flagship (including a #Matrix gateway), and I'm myself working on ActivityPub gateway and soon a email one with #Libervia. #Cheogram is also working on SMTP gateway. And #Biboumi is the flagship #IRC gateway.

@samebchase@fantastic.earth Hehe, I thought as much.

For my actual client usage I'm actually using the #XMPP client @gajim@fosstodon.org with #Prosody as the server and #Biboumi as the gateway, which works pretty well. I dislike browser clients because, well, let's be honest, webbrowsers are all awful these days. #XMPP however is quite mature and has good standards for making bridges, and there's several decent clients available for pretty much any platform you can imagine. It's a bit like #Matrix but not shit in every aspect.

@aks @katnjiapus

Because IRC is very simple, both #XMPP and Matrix have pretty good transports/bridges to it, e.g. #Biboumi. You can see IRC as the lowest common denominator I use IRC exclusively from #Movim by @movim
