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

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
> But all of the modern services like Teams, Slack and Discord, have seamlessness between client devices as their first priority.
Can't speak for the others, but Teams is really hit-or-miss. Missed notifications, missed messages, out of order messages. Then it appears to be fixed for three months only to happen again. It mostly seems to happen on Android.
In general, you're right, multi-device appeared to have been solved for IM - at least MSN messenger and Skype had it - right around the time when the smart phone came around, but then we had the same problem again in the mobile world, because somehow those messengers couldn't successfully move to phones: WhatsApp and the likes was bound to one device again. They added web access later, but that was more of a hack than true multi-device support.
The big problem the phone messaging apps solved was that their protocols didn't require a persistent connection. Theoretically, all the other protocols, MSN, ICQ, Skype, IRC could have been extended to support this too, but it's always faster to just build something new and be first to market.
If you want to use IRC today and have that modern multi-device experience, IMO the most decent solution is Quassel[1] (and Quasseldroid for Android). It's like a bouncer, but uses a custom protocol between the bouncer (quassel-core) and the GUI (quassel-client), so that it can perfectly sync state across all devices, and with flaky connections on mobile. It obviously required you to run the core on some server so it's accessible from everywhere, so nothing for "normies" as TFA calls them, but to me it's what makes IRC usable in the modern world. I wouldn't want to use irssi in a screen via ssh in termux on my phone.
The next best thing, if you're a Web 2.0 aficionado is probably The Lounge[2].

Client that simultaneously supports both PC and Android?
You can use a bouncer to do this. ZNC is the most popular. Quasse is a different take on the bouncer, where you have a special client that logs into your Quassel server, and the server logs into IRC. Has certain advantages, like more seamless scrollback and so forth. A variant take on this is irccloud, which is probably the "best" if you just want something turnkey that works with minimal fuss. It has good push notifications, a good web client, and excellent mobile clients

Is/are there any FOSS Discord Client for Android?
I use purple-discord (libpurple/Pidgin plugin) + BItlBee (IRC chat gateway, libpurple variant) + Quassel (distribued IRC client, like a bouncer) on a home server, and use Quasseldroid to connect on mobile. I would eventually like to simplify this setup.

Saturday APPreciation (Feb 05 2022) - Your weekly app recommendation/request thread!
Personally, I use a self-hosted "Core" (server) of Quassel I compiled from source and host remotely. Attach to the Core "locally" on a ZeroTier LAN network through a persistent physically independent WireGuard/reverse proxy/edge node microserver using various open source apps (preferably compiled from source). On Android I use QuasselDroid and of course compiled from source .

Thoughts on the state of the freenode IRC network - Edward Kmett
I've been a massive user of IRC since the mid 90s... have written lots of bots, scripts etc plus set up plenty of stuff to deal with being able to disconnect your client without missing out on anything (currently use https://quassel-irc.org/ with the daemon on a VPS). I was even l33t enough to "read bitchx.doc" back in the day...

Convos solves IRC's persistence problem
Seems really similar to Quassel (https://github.com/quassel/quassel/), though I don't believe that has a webclient...
What are some alternatives?
chat - Quack is a free and open-source chat application designed for private use. Although it doesn't have any unique features, it combines the best features from other communicators. Quack prioritizes privacy and security by allowing users to host their own app, ensuring that they have complete control over their data.
