Wandering Adventure Party

weed stallman Eugen Rochko https://ircv3.net/ has some good information, but to name a few i don’t think many people know about:

• persistent history (now integrated into several ircds and most clients)
• seamless image/file upload from the app
• multi-line and -paragraph messages
• utf-8
• typing indicators
• proper replies
• emoji reactions
• in-app registration
• account profile pictures / descriptions / display names

@Gargron don't forget us IRC folks have been working to reach feature parity with discord the whole time that people have been moving away from it

it's a pretty good alternative these days!

@Purple it's also happening to senior academics!
