As someone who hates IRC with passion (including the necessity of
maintaining a znc instance and dealing with IRC authentication and network
issues from time to time) and would love to jump to a more modern solution
ASAP, what is the best course of action for me now?
- Create an account with some Matrix server, and join my favorite Fedora
channels from there?
- Or wait until some formal decision is reached and possibly the Fedora
Matrix server is available?
- Will there be any advantage in using the Fedora server over others?
- If not, do you have any recommendation which server to register at - are
there any differences between them, e.g. in stability or resposivity or
features?
- Can I already join all Fedora-related channels hosted on freenode, or
just some select ones?
- Are there any difficulties with the Matrix-to-IRC bridge to be aware of?
For example do I still need to forward my IRC authentication somehow
through Matrix? Or are modern chat features (like image editing or
reactions) also supported on those bridged channels? Or anything else?
Thanks for replies.
