just one more decentralized chat protocol bro we just need to make another decentralized chat protocol we can defeat discord if we make another decentralized chat protocol everyone will love my new decentralized chat protocol
@MxSpoon sure but irc doesn't have features that regular people expect from a messaging platform, matrix refuses to fix or improve fundamental issues such as moderation, and xmpp is incredibly fragmented and confusing to get into if you don't have someone to help you
@pancakes I get the criticism of irc though I mostly focus on it being inherently insecure myself. For text based messaging I dunno if it really lacks anything a bpuncer doesn't provide though.
trying to beat discord at this point seems pretty cope i don't know how you are meant to realistically even scratch something with theoretically infinite money and that is a useful tool for intelligence agencies
@pancakes its a really weird concidence that the services with terrible implications for state survailence and shit, are also the ones used basically everywhere
