Proposal: Use xmpp as our primary and recommended chat option
Pirate Praveen Sat 18 Sep 2021 10:19AMPublicSeen by 88Matrix and XMPP are both good options by Free Software, self hostable, federated standards. But matrix federation has many practical implementation problems and sometimes messages take hours or even a few days at times to deliver across servers. Additionally xmpp is lighter on server resources and gives better privacy of userid in public groups by default. Another example, Disroot.org moved from matrix to xmpp completely. Thoughts?
Switch back to the old matrix room and bridge it to Telegram, XMPP, IRC

Let's switch back to the old matrix room and update all the room addresses on the FSCI website.
The current xmpp room is not joined with IRC and telegram. I propose that we use the method mentioned here https://codema.in/d/i8zpQHqS/write-a-blog-post-on-bridging-all-the-rooms-matrix-xmpp-telegram-irc to bridge all the communication channels using our old matrix room #fsci:poddery.com. We need to create an IRC channel on libera.chat and then bridge it to matrix. XMPP users can join the IRC channel using https://irc.cheogram.com/ and telegram, matrix bridging can be done using https://t2bot.io/telegram/.

I have tested this method with LibreOffice India rooms and it works reliably as of now.

Some people have reported problems connecting to oftc via irc.cheogram.com as the bridge is exceeding connection limits. I propose we bridge to pirateirc.net where matrix to irc bridge is run at diasp.in and has a direct connection and better limits. Then xmpp users will be able to connect to pirateirc. Additionally pirateirc has history playback by default so people can even connect to irc directly without needing to run an extra bouncer.
