I should learn how to use mailing lists and IRC.
Because a.) they have cool people on them, and b.) they are so old that they are essentially immune to the enshittification wafting over the waking world.
My only issue with IRC is that it seems like you have to be constantly connected in order to actually keep track of a conversation? I like COMMODE on SDF because it has a nice room history (as well as a friendly TUI). Any tips are appreciated.
It's bothersome how often I have to tell people no, I won't be joining their Discord or Slack group. Period.
If a group of ten of us needs to chat, I'll set up an IRC channel. It's not obsolete. It's not a dinosaur. You were told that by people selling you something that is bad for you.
I saw this on a Finnish post, so let me reformulate it a bit and post it in English.
Finnish universities 1996:
"Here's an operating system we created for you. Here's a chat network we created you can use with the operating system."
Finnish universities 2026:
"We don't know how to replace Facebook for public communications."
Learned helplessness.
Since the hole 🕳️ #Discord not taking privacy seriously..
I've setup a (public) #IRC server on my personal Yuno server at
https://net.stux.me with a web client on https://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
You should remind Discord admins and users #irc exists and is still doing very well and remind other users that security is not a top priority for these venture back companies and platforms.
WRT #Discord, there's an effectively unsolvable conundrum we can't really face, folks. We'd all like the high moral standards that are found in the #OpenSource community, when done right: nobody screwing each other over for their PII, and other forms of leverage (walled-garden lock-in). Geeks get this, normies don't. (This gulf is very hard to cross, IMHO, without resorting to actual educational curriculum explaining it in schools.)
But then we have conflicting desires: we *also* want the buttery smoothness to a secure messaging ecosystem - total convenience, total functionality, *complete with a level-playing-field, "Net Neutral" infrastructure to run it on*, with no lobbied government or tech-bro interference skewing the traffic rules (QOS Rules). Good luck with that one, without strong gov't control, and solid grassroots lobbying behind it.
Lets be honest: #Signal is so great *because tens of millions of dollars were charitably spent on it*. Moxie didn't do his genius work *for free*. Where are tens of millions of *more* dollars going to come from, to make a Discord alternative? Would that be nowhere? Look, there's no quick and easy answers to Discord enshittifying. I've looked at #XMPP, #Matrix, #Deltachat, #Discourse, #Flarum, #PHPBB, #Zulip, #Mattermost, etc. and *each has its warts*. You'll dislike each of them, for different reasons. Each paints itself into a different corner. *There were no tens of millions of dollars upfront, at an early design phase, overlooked by qualified Computer Scientists, to prevent this, in each and every case.* #IRC doesn't bear mention in this comparison. None is the perfect replacement or answer. *None had those tens of millions of dollars which Signal had.*
Alas, they don't stand a chance to be the all-singing, all-dancing solutions that the techbros can finance, *along with their predictable, rotten lack of a moral compass to accompany the slickness.* Every non-geek teenager will side with the techbros, owing to 1) convenience, and 2) that's where their friends are, *which mean the world to a teenager*.
So in summary, we are doomed by our own psychological limitations, as a demographic. The psychological predators - the techbros - can't help but prey on the normies, and the normies can't help but turn to the predators, who at least offer convenience, if no other thing. And the geeks who have a moral compass stand in the middle, ignored by-and-large, feeling anxious and powerless, not having any tens of millions of dollars behind their altruism.
I'm on #IRC tonight. My server is nantucketlit.com, port 6697.
Are there any communication/texting apps or software that are confirmed not to use any AI or LLMs in their code or coding process? Software with clear no-AI policies?
Self-hosting, E2EE, and open source would also be good, but for now I'm just wondering if there are any anti-AI chat app lists out there.

I'm interested in getting started using #IRC what advice do you have for me?
@sacha hey, I'm having @damaru on the #lispyGopherClimate tomorrow (and @eduardoochs is going to hang out live in #emacsconf on #irc) -
I was just wondering if you had anything you would like to see an early-emacs-days #writer do with #emacs in our community particularly (noting your https://sachachua.com/topic/#topic-index-emacs-and-writing ).
Sorry, gef, for volunteering you for lab experiments ;p
Honestly my goal is to see whether #eev anchors work for his flow, and whether it's-possible to use my own 'easy' graph stuff.
As several people on Discord’s free plan are limited to join servers, I merged them all into a single one with different rooms. The new one is also for all ProxTools like #ProxLB, #ProxSnap, #ProxCLMC, #ProxWall and other projects!
You can simply join at: https://discord.gg/p9UxdMnx
PS: The #IRC and #Matrix bridge will be recreated asap!
