Why don't you just use XMPP?
(Leaving this here as a FAQ since I get this 'question' entirely too often.)

@joepie91 Been living the IRC life too long and recently Matrix while somehow dodging the XMPP drama so I don't see the turmoil.
That said, I've seen newfolks use it and seem happy so not sure what to think.

@jerry I'm sure it works for some folks (like all FOSS software), the problem with FOSSbros is the assumption that if it does for them, it also does for everybody else

@joepie91 My novice quip is "if it's built to work for everybody it works well for nobody"
re: Why don't you just use XMPP?
