Free Speech Solutions That Still Work.Modern IRC.
Why and how to have a modern and respectful chat system with IRC. How to chat in 2019? Certainly with slack, or via a social media app in the browser or mobile phone app. How geeks should chat in 2019? This post is about my opinion on the subject after having tried many different chat solutions.
I am quite disappointed by modern chat applications, most those client applications (slack, gitter, riot, mattermost, etc…) easily consume more than 300MB of RAM. Most of the time those clients are electron applications. Most solutions, do not encrypt one's conversations. Even if using an encryption mechanism and one trusts one's client, one will still reveal one's social, network topology. Finally, IRC + ZNC with the replay module, is the winner. It was the easiest and best solution.
