Hi guys, I want to communicate with people here via chat if possible, and just wondering what people here are using?
I want to use a protocol if possible, and definitely not discord or some other software run by a corporation. Obviously IRC was the thing to use back in the day. Do people still use it or something else?
I love the fediverse and the idea of getting away from the big tech companies, and am looking for whatever real time chat software is recommended right now. Thanks.
It has a direct messaging system but there are privacy concerns and Lemmy has the option of adding your Matrix account details to.your.profile that then creates a secure message link to Matrix (which then gives you a choice of three apps to use). It’s all very seamless and I’d recommend it to everyone.
