        does not suffer from desyncs

        Not entirely true. IRC can have network splits (I believe they were referred to as netsplits if I remember correctly) where one network can drop out. You can notice this when you see like 50+ people leave a channel at the exact same time because the network they were on disconnected, it’s kind of interesting imo lol but also I’m a nerd so maybe that’s why I find it interesting.

      How is IRC decentralized?

      • AngryPancake@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Because everyone can spin up their own irc server. It’s not federated though.

  Just learned about Revolt.chat. It looks to have great potential. It’s basically a Discord clone.

    Revolt is promising in that it’s trying to be a direct Discord clone, but it’s also being made by one person as a passion project, and it sounds like it’s their first time doing a project of this size. Last time I checked, encryption was not even implemented in it yet.

    Matrix is distinctly different from Discord, but it’s certainly more mature and featurefull as well.

      I just had a KDE/Gnome flashback from reading your comment.

      Couldn’t agree more. Revolt is still in it’s infancy, but it has great potential.

    Personally I don’t trust it. Don’t really have any reason not to but it just feels eh to me. Just use matrix

      I guess if you like matrix thats cool, but I did just do a quick google and it looks like their clients and server backend are all open source (AGPL-3) and self-hostable so I wouldn’t say there’s much to distrust.

      Matrix is great at what it does, but it’s not a replacement for Discord imho.

  Until ten years ago we used TeamSpeak for voice chat, IRC and forum for text. You can host all of them yourself. Today we have the fediverse and matrix. The problem is that kids get caught by the likes of tiktok and discord (because they are easily accessible with no other requirements than a phone or pc) and they can’t get away from them.

  And we could call it… XMPP! Maybe that’s too nerdy… What about Jabber?

• ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  What would it be called?
