if anyone's interested in an #irc chat about #ttrpg (mostly #osr) and obscure #retrocomputing stuff you could try wilderland.ovh port 6667
also on the web as http://wilderland.ovh:9000
languages are mostly english and german
(alternately accessible via campaignwiki.org port 6667/6697 or https://talk.campaignwiki.org )
#Piemonte, gli studenti che scelgono di non frequentare #IRC a #scuola sfiorano il 40% e si supera la metà negli istituti professionali e a Torino. Mentre la destra vuole imporre un insegnante di IRC come Garante regionale per l'infanzia e l'adolescenza.

so because I don't have anything better to do my current setup looks like this: I am using debian 12 in wsl on windows 11 to connect irssi (#irc client) to my znc bouncer on my Debian VPS that connects to #bitlbee on the same VPS to connect to #discord via purple. All that so I can chat with a friend on discord from the terminal instead of switching to the other window.
And the worst is that it works without a hitch.

Kaipaan niitä aikoja, kun yhteyden luominen tärkeisiin oman elämän kontakteihin onnistui kirjautumalla shellille ja kirjoittamalla komentoriville

..tai ainakin muistaakseni se komento meni jotenkin noin
„Es ist zwar unklar, wie die von der EU vorgeschlagenen [sog.] 'Rückführungszentren' aussehen würden, aber wir wissen, dass die bestehenden Migrationsabkommen mit Nicht-EU-Ländern dazu geführt haben, dass Tausende … Gewalt, Missbrauch, Ausbeutung und Tod ausgesetzt sind.
Die Menschen absichtlich aus den Augen und aus dem Sinn zu verbannen, ist keine nachhaltige Lösung für die Migrationsherausforderungen in Europa.”

@tux @TuxOnBike @Hypopheralcus warum nicht #IRC oder #XMPP?
@colinstu except #discord is worse than #IRC in every possible way...
At least IRC allows for #SelfHosting and way more granular control...

Centralised platforms are never good for this very reason. Any company that goes for an IPO inevitably ends up worse for the users.
Let’s make #IRC popular again!

What's the state of #matrix, #xmpp and #IRC as far as #screenReader -accessible clients are concerned? Desktop (Windows, Mac) and mobile (iOS, Android).
Hoping for some input, please feel free to boost. As far as I know:
Matrix does not have a lightweight, fully accessible client for desktop, but one could be modified, such as #gomuks. On mobile, Element has scrolling issues, which is unacceptable for large rooms.
XMPP has accessible desktop clients (I used to run #Adium on the Mac), also #WeeChat. No idea about mobile.
IRC is perhaps the one which everything supports on desktop, from #MirandaIM through Weechat to the old Freedom Chat, which I could probably rewrite if I had to. Also not sure about mobile, but it would definitely need push notifications, because we can't expect people to stay constantly online on the go. #a11y #accessibility
