As a result of this discussion in [email protected], there is now an IRC channel about degoogling!
/join ##degoogle on irc.libera.chat:6697 (TLS). The channel name begins with a double hashtag (according to the namespace policy).
Come on down and join us through your local IRC client or the web client web.libera.chat!
Why the double #? For be up in the channel list?
That’s just the namespace policy of LiberaChat (i.e. we’re not a specific software project, nor some project of the kind outlined there).
TIL. Thanks.
TIL. Thanks.
Man, I haven’t used IRC since the early 2000’s. It must have been 20 years now. I’m trying to connect using Konversation, the KDE IRC client. I can’t seem to connect to the irc server.
Irc is dead atleast on libre chat
It’s become so complicated. To use Libera chat IRC I need to register with a name and email now? Back then I just connected to the server, joined a channel and started chatting. Now I can’t send messages or anything. Everything’s blocked. It sucks.
its always moderation . nostr is basically irc now but much better also it is filled with crypto bros . 1 thing i dont like about nostr is there will always be this probability that someone will generate same private keys
If you really want privacy, you could run I2P. Here’s some notes on making an IRC server over I2P.
since the early 2000s*

2000s: correct for the decade (plural of years).
“Music from the 2000s.”
-
2000’s: only correct if showing possession.
“The 2000’s biggest trend was…” .

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that with IRC, you need to stay connected constantly—unless you use something like IRC Cloud or an IRC bouncer (soju, znc, etc.), which require a service or server of some sort.
I bring this up because I see a lot of people ask a question and then leave without waiting. If you want to ask a question or participate in a discussion, you’ll need to keep your IRC connection on; otherwise, you won’t see what others say while you’re disconnected.
