IRC Is the Only Viable Chat Protocol
why not using an end2end encrypted p2p only chat lioe https://cabal.chat instead?

Just released my own Chat - Quack 2.0
I've moved to decentralized solutions for this use case, I'm too cheap to pay for GCS when I could just take up everyone who's using it's disk :D
- Discord is at it yet again with server problems. God, they just can’t keep their servers from falling apart, don’t they
- As anarchists, we have every reason to hate and distrust AI. While discussing anarchism with it, ChatGPT4 spontaneously came up with a framework for an online AI-driven platform founded on anarchist principles, and I found what it had to say so compelling that I brought it here for discussion

The internet alternative with no hiarchies
Finally you have "distributed" services. These take the lack of centrality too their logical conclusion. There is no hiarchy between users, everything is directly peer-to-peer with no central connection at all. Think Bittorrent, SMTP (computer-to-computer) mail, Aether, Cabal
- I built a tiny slack alternative for the decentralized web
- DIY copwatch?
- Cabal: Experimental P2P community chat platform
-
Finally! A decentralized ( meaning, no deplatforming by special interests) and uncensorable MGTOW platform. Unmoderated also. A long time in the making :)

IRC Is the Only Viable Chat Protocol
IRC is great! I access through the excellent biboumi gateway, which offers bouncer-like functionality and let me choose between various clients. There are open instances available for everyone to use, although I couldn't give a list of them since I self-host. I like that it's very lightweight, making it a reasonable permacomputing approach to group chats.
I wouldn't go as far as saying it's the only viable chat protocol, if you follow the link below you'll guess what I have in mind saying that. (it starts with an X and ends with two Ps)

Biboumi is an XMPP gateway that connects to IRC servers and translates between the two protocols. It can be used to access IRC channels using any XMPP client as if these channels were XMPP MUCs.
------
I'm using all of those daily to connect to all my other accounts, Slidge is the most modern one and is having lots of features ported to the modern XMPP extensions.
What are some alternatives?
