   Hey

   * Do people over 40 keep telling you you should use IRC and IRC is better than Discord and Slack?
   * Did you try IRC and it wasn't better at all?
   * Do you need to use an IRC channel but IRC is a pain?
   * Use irccloud.com
   * It's free, it has a website interface that's like Discord, it has a phone app, it even lets you paste images into IRC
   * Downside: If you connect only from phone, they DC you after a bit unless you're on the paid plan. Get around this by leaving a web tab open on a desktop

     @mcc@mastodon.social I don't like proprietary "cloud" products. Is there a self hosted thing that does this?

     @SuperDicq, up in the thread there are kiwiirc.com and thelounge.chat, but I want to highlight the IRCv3 trio by @emersion: soju the bouncer, gamja the web UI and goguma the Android client. Personally I’m happy with senpai the TUI with self-hosted soju. Cc: @mcc
