<p>Discord, for better or worse, has become synonymous with modern chatting in the post-pandemic age. IRC, Matrix, and Slack are adequate alternatives, but there are a few reasons we choose to be on Discord:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Discord is user-friendly and easier to use for folks becoming more acquainted with internet culture and technology.</li>
|
|
<li>The barrier for entry to Discord is much lower than IRC or Matrix for new users.</li>
|
|
<li>Having full access to channel histories upon joining without any additional work is attractive for new folks in the community.</li>
|
|
<li>Discord is easier to moderate with a smaller team.</li>
|
|
<li>Slack being used for modern workspaces can make a leisurely hobby server feel like work.</li>
|
|
<li>Discord's free features beat Slack's free tier.</li>
|
|
<li>Discord is still an independent company, whereas Slack is owned by Salesforce.</li>
|
|
<li>Matrix and IRC require more server resources, and we'd want to completely self-host our server.</li>
|
|
<li>It's not hard to find Matrix and IRC servers that are already full of chatrooms with professional developers, hardcore self-hosted hobbyists, and indie web enthusiasts.</li>
|
|
<li>Matrix and IRC feel like the "old web," but that's not necessarily what we're about.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>We respect and tip our hats to folks who have IRC and Matrix servers. We plan on having guides to both IRC and Matrix for more advanced users.</p>
