@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Bit of an unfair thing to say about protocol or product X but sadly you are right, I was there as it happened 😅 – Now IRC OTOH – What’s it’s excuse? I mean I’ve written so many IRC servers myself, there are actually decent Web clients and even decent iOS clients. So why not just use IRC eh? 😂

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Doesn’t that just mean that Instant Messaging just needs to be “offline” first? If the user isn’t online, queue it up for later delivery. If you can’t reach your server, redeliver it later. Wait hmmmm Isn’t that email? Isn’t there this whole Delta.chat thingy? 😅 The thing is I actually tried it and it wanted a Username/Password to an IMAP server, so I though “Uggh” no thanks. And deleted the app 😂

I’ll answer you both 😂

a) It just feels a bit weird to me to be honest. I don’t really mix what is an async fire and forget medium like Email with Instant Messaging
b) I don’t access my Email via IMAP(S) I can’t recall the last time I did! I use Webmail, that’s it.
c) It just seems too hard at the time 😂
d) I don’t know anyone that uses Delta.Chat anyway 😅

delta chat is great and irc is great on mobile if you use thelounge as I do. It’s seamless and has pictures and emoji and history and all the stuff people complain about irc not having. That being said I also dont know anyone who uses delta chat. 😭 😝

Oh this thread is about ppl’s families. Good luck 😂

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Fair. I just use SMS for push messaging
