Since the hole 🕳️ #Discord not taking privacy seriously..

I've setup a (public) #IRC server on my personal Yuno server at

net.stux.me with a web client on irc.stux.me

It's super small and a little test.. If enough people are interested I /could/ setup something bigger for long term

I don't wanna make extra costs so it has to be worth it

is IRC really relevant as a chat solution?
(yes, I know there are many servers, and people still use it. and I'm happy for those users) but from what I can tell it's just a very old protocol that people who are used to Discord won't be satisified with both from a feature standpoint and a moderation standpoint.

@thibaultmol yeah you need that indeed. I've used it since it's creation. Haven't tried it recently but it works really well though

hey, I remember the old old irc. :neocat_laugh:

Cool that there's a new one. I'll have to pop in and bother you say hi then.

I just found out that Ventrilo, of all things, is still around. I feel old. But it's old enough that things like AI and age verification just won't be doable with it's codebase.

wow, IRC !!! I was on there 20+ years ago 😆👍 I remember at the time I loaded a jpilot applet on my Geocities website which connected to my rooms on mircx and DALnet 😄

Zulip! I still want to see/experience it used "in anger". Though, from small tests with a couple of acquaintances, many people are not compatible with how it works 🤷

in my humble opinion discord is seeing mass use not because of lack of IRC servers but because IRC objectively sucks compared to discord. And I'm saying that as an avid IRC user sice its heyday. The absolute worst part of IRC are the IRC clients. They are atrocious both on mobile and on desktop.
