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.

    I’m using Element. Any channels etc you’d recommend?

      I’ve been away from Matrix for a while so idk about any new and interesting ones, but it’s generally the whole Linux-y FOSS types of the internet that tend to have reasonably active Matrix channels, compared to the general purpose audience of, say, Discord.
