What chat software do people here use?
Hi guys, I want to communicate with people here via chat if possible, and just wondering what people here are using?
I want to use a protocol if possible, and definitely not discord or some other software run by a corporation. Obviously IRC was the thing to use back in the day. Do people still use it or something else?
I love the fediverse and the idea of getting away from the big tech companies, and am looking for whatever real time chat software is recommended right now. Thanks.
Edit: Setup on Matrix, thanks guys! @xero-:matrix.org hit me up if you want!
I don’t use it but Matrix/XMPP is what you’re looking for.
Cool, I've heard of it. What client is good to use?
Element is the most featureful one. You'll probably want to have it around even if you don't use it every day. Cinny looks pretty close to Discord (and is overall cozier imo), and FluffyChat is more Telegram/WhatsApp-y and seems to be one of the better ones for phones.
There are a lot but Element is multi-platform and has the most features
