I've been auto-kicked from Matrix channels for inactivity/lurking, which is ridiculous. > While on newer apps you are expected to keep up. There's no way to guarantee that Libera won't have a dramawave of its own 15 years down the line. Libera certainly has a good few decades of trustworthy service, as Freenode once did, but the protocol is itself built on vulnerable assumptions. With Matrix/, it simply wouldn't be possible for a hostile actor to claim ownership of their channels (unless Gentoo itself were somehow the victim of a hostile takeover).
#TOR MESSENGER BLOCKED BY IRC FREE#
While IRC is a free protocol, this whole controversy has shown that you aren't ultimately in control of your channels. This seems like it should have been the logical conclusion. > The Matrix ecosystem is the only thing I can think of, that could eventually replace IRC.
#TOR MESSENGER BLOCKED BY IRC HOW TO#
I don't know how to describe it better, but fore me that's the biggest difference. While on newer apps you are expected to keep up.
instant messaging, VoIP, secure email, IRC and webchat, and so on.IRC is more of a tavern room, you come in have discussion with people currently in, some people come some people go during that and then you leave and that is that. Examples are Crowds, Tor, I2P, Mixminion, various anonymous P2P networks. you are expected to keep up with and on "important channels" etc. I almost never bother reading chat history in IRC, but in Slacks/. One defining future of IRC at least channels I frequent and Discords/Slacks/Matrix is less memes and animated things grabbing your attention.Īnother big thing is, that new stuff like Discord/Slack/Matrix are combination of messenger and discussion forum, while IRC is discussion only. (There might be others, I am just not familiar with them)Įnd even if they are somehow similar, discussions on Discord and Slack and other similar platforms are different than on IRC, at least in my experience. The Matrix ecosystem is the only thing I can think of, that could eventually replace IRC. In short there are other new technologies, but most of them are corporate walled gardens, or small open source projects that only have one server/client implementation, and few servers under control of single entity.
#TOR MESSENGER BLOCKED BY IRC MAC#
The version that was launched a test version and is available for Linux, Mac and Windows.Because it's one of the rare still used open protocol supported by multiple servers and clients implementations and not backed by single corporate entity. However, the route to the server is hidden, as it runs over the Tor network. This approach means that metadata can be stored by the server of the chat network. Tor Messenger or uses existing networks so that users with existing contacts and without much adaptation can continue chatting. Furthermore OTR also adds perfect forward secrecy, and "deniability" so that it can be denied that the user has sent an IM message. It supported Jabber (XMPP), IRC, Google Talk, Facebook Chat, Twitter, Yahoo, and others enabled Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging automatically and had an easy-to-use graphical user. Tor Messenger is not in development anymore.

This makes the messages are encrypted and users can check that the person with whom they chat actually the person he or she claims to be. Tor Messenger was a cross-platform chat program that aimed to be secure by default and send all of its traffic over Tor. In addition, Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging by default. It thereby supports different transport networks like Jabber (XMPP), IRC, Google Talk, Facebook Chat, Twitter, Yahoo, and other networks. Tor Messenger as the chat program is called, sends messages over the Tor network.
#TOR MESSENGER BLOCKED BY IRC SOFTWARE#
The makers of software have launched the Tor network which allows users of many different chat programs or channels through one simple encrypted chat program.
