1 year agoI’ll second IRC. I don’t need my chat to be e2ee, and encryption has made Matrix a much bigger pain in the ass than it’s worth to me.
Forums, too, though I’m a big fan of the distributed social media space. Lemmy has an experimental front-end based on phpBB, and I would love to see someone take that idea and go whole hog on it to create proper federated forums.
But how far away is the chemist’s?
