The internet used to be a collection of homes.
Now it's a row of malls.
We traded the hobbyist era for corporate walled gardens. ICQ is dead, Skype is dead, and the open web is being strip-mined for data.
But remember: the #hashtag was born in 1980s IRC rooms, not a Silicon Valley PR firm.
The Fediverse isn't just a trend - it's a return to what made the web work in the first place.
Protocols over platforms. Always.

#BoxyBSD chat is now also available in #irc!
People asked for old school possibilities to take part on the BoxyBSD chat and here we go! Finally, you can also simply join #BoxyBSD on Libera (next to your #FreeBSD channels)! This bridge was written by @gyptazy to support additional chat communications.
Important: This IRC channel is bridged between #Discord and #Matrix to have a unified communications flow without splitting the community. If you don't like Discord, please don't join this channel!
Infos about how to connect by IRC to Libera IRC:

X Chat: Überarbeiteter Messenger mit Verschlüsselung
Die Kurznachrichtenplattform X hat ihren Messenger überarbeitet. Die neue Version bietet neue Features, die von Mitbewerbern bekannt sind.
@heiseonline XChat gibt es als Name für einen #irc client unter #X11 bereits seit 1999. Wird aber anscheinend nicht mehr weiterentwickelt.
#lispyGopherClimate we are rolling around to that 8am-UTC Sunday-morning-in-Europe #lisp #peertube #live by request, covering #interlisp as well as #lispGameJam , #lisp generally. Live in a moment on https://toobnix.org/w/gXLXQqxf5MYg1NDF2Ua6oA as every week...!
Regardless of how ept or able I am feeling. #lisp on liberachat #irc please !

My honeywell #terminal is a finnicky beast. Given that it is not in any way vt100 compatible, most modern software won't work very well with it.
It works well enough with the #suckless sic #irc client, and #sdf com also works well enough with it - although the latter sometimes messes it up if someone throws non-ascii characters up in the chat.
sic is about as basic and minimalistic as you can get for an irc client though. It would be nice if I could make use of the terminal's extra features like it's graphics character set (line-drawing characters), bold/light intensity/underlined text, etc,...
I initially tried creating an irssi theme, but there's several things working against me there from making that work:
1) irssi won't run unless i run it in a screen session because it claims the terminal does not support scrolling (it sorta kinda does but probably not in the way irssi wants).
2) If in screen, i have to send extra escape chars in order to talk to the terminal directly (\033P ... term codes ... \033\\)
3) And this is ultimately what killed it: I cannot for the life of me get irssi to send raw terminal escapes by defining them in a theme.
Does anyone know, either, how to define raw escapes in an irssi theme, or of a console irc client that lets me do so? Ideally it should also be capable of stripping colors and unicode from incomming chat (because that will mess it up)
If not, I guess I'll have to write my own client... (I'm reaaaallly trying to avoid taking on another project... )

På tide å forby sosiale medier for 30 år gamle menn? Nei, vent, Snap er jo ikke på regjeringens liste over sosiale medier!
@forteller Forslag: forby alt av #some med #bilete/#video for dei under 30. Då skal du sjå fokus og lesehastigheit havnar på betringas veg. 😉 mao... #IRC til folket! 🥳
