Last Thursday we launched our new chat platform chat.sfconservancy.org! Conservancy's main chat room, which used to be on Freenode, is now available at the following locations: The primary room, on XMPP at general@chat.sfconservancy.org (also via the web)A bridged IRC room, at #conservancy on irc.libera.chatThe bridged room that Matrix provides, at #xmpp_general_chat.sfconservancy.org:matrix.orgWe've taken the opportunity of leaving Freenode to change technologies to something we think reflects our ideals. XMPP is a decentralized, open standard and widely used chat platform that supports many of the common features we've come to expect in the new era of chat. Given that we've been using IRC, almost anything would be a strict upgrade when it comes to features. We also wanted to make it as easy as possible for newcomers to start chatting.
