Owl: An IRC - Discord link built for communities on multiple platforms.
How does this compare to https://github.com/reactiflux/discord-irc ?

Does anyone else browse this sub and feel completely inadequate?
You can link your irc channels to Discord so no one gets left behind or if some old regular who has been idle for 15 years becomes active again.

Please don't use Discord for FOSS projects
But you can migrate. Have a bot running bridging both apps and then phase the old one slowly out. Like
https://github.com/reactiflux/discord-irc
https://t2bot.io/discord/
That way you are not stuck in an ecosystem. Sure some ppl will always be unhappy and looking up content in the old system is subpar but thats the nature of the game.

Bridge Discord - Libera
Yup, definitely seems possible from a quick google search. LiberaChat seems to just be IRC. Looking for a Discord to IRC bridge, I found this which appears to operate in both directions.

Is there a linuxmasterrace Discord server?
if you want to use your discord client, you can probably set up a bridge. Check out: https://github.com/reactiflux/discord-irc

Simplicity of IRC
IRC as a protocol is indeed incredibly simple and easy to get started with. Years ago did discover this when I was able to make [this atrocity](https://github.com/creesch/discordIRCd) bridging IRC and discord where for IRC I effectively did a simple server implementation.
There is a caveat, though. Like many older protocols (ftp) there is a lot that was not initially written down or left up to clients and server implementations. This, does lead to a lot of edge cases you need to be aware of once you want to actually support a wider user group.
Also, as this is apparently is still a discussion. IRC is not simple from a modern user UX perception. Registration can be complex and confusing, though hidden a bit through clients. Managing channels with various flags is a whole other thing. Then there is also the fact that these days people are no longer used to the fact that they can't see messages from periods where they were not connected. Of course, the latter can be easily handled by a BNC or fancy clients like https://thelounge.chat . But, that is only easy for technically inclined folks.

Posthog is closing their Slack community in favor of forum
> It’s 2024, people aren’t going to go out of their way to setup “bouncers” to keep up with conversation that happens when they’re not online or leave their computer running 24/7.
You can just set up something like The Lounge [0].

Show HN: GodotOS: A Fake Operating System Interface Made in the Godot Engine
Excellent idea! You'll have a mature, open standard protocol under the hood, with no vendor lock-in, excellent extensibility, and great modern frontends like The Lounge (https://thelounge.chat/) or Convos (https://convos.chat/) to choose from (and you can choose).

Matrix 2.0: How we’re making Matrix go voom
For the other layers one can front-end IRC with TheLounge [1][2] or Convos [3][4]. TheLounge only persists history in private mode meaning that users are created in that front-end and chat messages are in Redis. For small networks or groups of friends this is probably fine.
Notably missing is voice chat. I use the Mumble client [5] with the Murmur or uMurmur [6] server which is light-weight enough to run on ones home router. I use it on Alpine Linux, works great. It's not a shiny and attention grabbing as Discord but probably fine for everyone else. For people to create their own voice channels would require the full-blown Murmur server.

I'm trying to set up a client device that will remain connected to a server that I can remotely log into
As another self-hosted solution, I quite like TheLounge (https://thelounge.chat)

TheLounge (https://github.com/thelounge/thelounge) - web IRC client that I set to listen on my vpn/mesh. Works great on desktop and mobile, and supports push notifications.
