What do people get out of using #SMS #Slack or #Discord that @matrix (and apps that interface with it) doesn't provide? The decentralized web should be able to win this fight.

Also, I wonder how many people are happy with #IRC and maybe then aren't interested in (or even aware of) what's now possible. I love using #matrix for calls on my show.

what are some #irc channels i should join. or #xmpp group chats. i want to be in active circles again. i'm bored

Getting tired of using discord has led me to become really interested in older forms of #online #chat and #communication, such as #IRC and classic text-based #usenet, alongside new attempts like #matrix. Any who still use these old platforms, would you advocate for them? Is there any benefit for someone to jump in to those communities?

#IRC #Retro #Past #InternetRelayChat

One of the frustrating things about these updates is that I really wish the original #IRC #bot also had similar updates, but that being in #Ruby and this being in #Python is a bit of an obstacle 8-/

That was good enough on #IRC because messages there have no threading context information, and the line size was a limiting factor. But on the #Fediverse, where threading exists and is important, and minimizing network transfers has higher priority, the approach won't do: we can't have each game logic function sending its own reply: we want to collect all the information that needs to be sent, and then send it in the smallest number of messages possible.

One more step I have to do before finally getting to work on the actual #Mastodon backend for my #Machiavelli #game #bot is decouple the whole messaging system from the game logic. This is technical debt accrued from the original #IRC bot plugin, where for simplicity the class handling the logic sent public and private messages to update users about the game status.

It looks like the libera.chat #IRC to #Matrix bridge is down for 3 weeks now? 🤔

I'm a @matrix user and all IRC bridged rooms have fallen very silent, except for other matrix accounts' interactions.

@slowbiex Das ist das etwas nervige, es zersplittert wieder alles in unterschiedliche Infrastrukturen. Aber eines ist sicher, #IRC wird niemals sterben :-)

I'm now refactoring the messaging system and card presentation logic to be both more sensible, and adaptable to contexts where threads are actually a thing —remember that this comes from an #IRC bot, so the only thing it cared about was who to send messages to, and how (channel or private). Hopefully I can get it to a point where some amount of customization on the amount of Unicode in the output is possible even per user.

Anybody know how to do a #discord to #matrix bridge? Know any good guides? Wouldn't mind bridging #telegram and /or #IRC and maybe #xmpp but I'll start with matrix

I can set anything up on Linux and do basic scripting, I have a box I can use might rent a VPS if necessary

Anyway, I've now completed a full “solitaire” game of the #Python reimplementation of my #Ruby #IRC #bot #Machiavelli plugin (hashtag galore yeah), so I believe the logic itself to be robust enough. The next step would be to start interfacing it with Mastodon. One thing that worries me is that the table can get rather largish, which may trip the character limit.

So I've started porting my #Machiavelli #Ruby #IRC #bot #plugin (how's that for hashtags, uh?) to #Python, which has been a rather frustrating experience so far. I'm much more comfortable with Ruby than Python, but the languages are similar enough that the differences fall into that grating #uncannyValley experience. Also lots of bugs due to syntactical and behavioral differences (e.g. index() raising an exception instead of returning the null type). But things are moving forward.
