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.
- Alternatively: Discord is probably going to try an IPO at some point (sorry for the nyt link).
- 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
To Do
- Get Tubes in a workable state
- Set up an IRCd
- Configure
- Convince everyone to switch platforms
- Bridge? (optional)
Tech Stack
Also
The forums are going to fit into this somehow. Details to come
March Update
I got sidetracked again. In theory, the new protocol should be much less nightmare to implement on both sides of the equation. Once I have a bit more time I'm going to see if that's actually true.
April Update
We gave the original plan a real college try and it didn't really work out. The accounts system is confusing and the UI of every client is so so bad. Tubes will win. See you in a month.
