On whatever topic the poster posts and it wold be just like old days instant messaging
IRC still exists. There’s nothing stopping anyone from joining a server and a few channels.
Counterpoint: I am too young to understand this technology, it scares me, and I am unwilling to learn.
Then you can stay on forums that needs to be refreshed, or uuuh… isn’t there a proprietary IRC like thing for young people, something like Disco? Or Discom. Or Discord? Apparently it’s much like IRC but without the freedom.
To see what happened you need a bot running saving messages.
Just use matrix, it’s good enough to replace IRC
I use TheLounge which saves and display history for me.
Convos also does that.
I am still on IRC, have my own server, and use TheLounge as a client. We can paste mp3s, mp4s and images on the channels. It just works fine for us.
You use something that’s constantly connected. I’m fine with letting another server handle that part without self hosting
We need to revive IRC and consolidate in one channel.
I just connected last week and couldn’t find a server / channel which has people chatting.
