The First Chat Migration

The First Chat Migration is an upcoming event in the rich tapestry that is Pronounmail history.

Why Not Discord

• Discord is probably going to go bankrupt at some point.
• Discord is based in America, which is a country currently in the process of becoming even more American. This is possibly going to cause problems down the line.
• The only way to use Discord is through their horrible electron client which I don't like very much.
• They keep trying to sell me Discord Nitro which i don't want.

Why IRC

• Funny
• I am in the middle of writing a good client for it

Why Not Matrix

• Get Real

To Do

• Get Tubes in a workable state
• Set up an IRCd
• Configure
• Convince everyone to switch platforms
• Bridge? (optional)

Tech Stack

• Tubes (client (not stable))
• Ergo (server (pretty okay))
• Coleslaw (bridge (very not stable))

Also

The forums are going to fit into this somehow. Details to come
