[18:06] you may need to keep an unactive one tied up... that sounded like a threat [18:10] OvenWerks: It's not really possible, but I did it anyways just in case. [18:26] Eickmeyer: re:telegram/matrix, etc. I am not sure how they are viewed as better than IRC. What do they offer? do they have backscroll even when not online? [18:27] * OvenWerks thinks that would just be a webpage addition to IRC. [18:28] So, Telegram and Matrix are always connected and can simply bridge to IRC. Matrix's bridge is more robust. [18:29] Telegram is more like an instant messenger, Matrix is a whole chat protocol. [18:29] so backscroll during offline time [18:29] Yes. [18:29] That, and you can actually post images (screenshots, etc). directly to the chat. [18:29] No need to go through imgur or something else. [18:30] Same with video, if needed. [18:30] Audio too, as a matter of fact. [18:30] ok. sort of makes sense I guess [18:30] I prefer Matrix to Telegram, especially since the bridge is more robust. [18:31] to be honest, I would not liked being pinged via either audio or video (assuming that is live) [18:31] No, it just posts as a message that you'd have to click on to see/hear. [18:32] It's not like people can just call you. [18:33] Well, they can, but that doesn't happen. [18:33] Like, eylul[m] asks before she calls me. [18:35] from a support pov, some of the people who come to IRC seem like they would just expect to make a call to you if they didn't get an answer fast enough [18:35] Heh, if they do, 1) decline, 2) block, 3) ban. [18:36] Have yet to see anyone on Matrix attempt to call me. [18:36] I know I ignore PMs and only answer comments in the channel [18:37] Also, Matrix forces people to register before joining a channel. [18:37] Cuts down on spam. [22:32] @eickmeyer Ovenwerks it is usually a good idea to poke before calling someone, or.. well, there is also the issue of giving people time to setup their headsets etc [22:32] :) [22:32] Yep. [22:32] also I believe you can limit private calls, or even DMs to only people in your friends list [22:33] anyhow I am heading to sleep, dropped in because I saw my name [22:33] gnight. [22:34] Good night!
