 sm | Thanks for the info. I could look into it more at another time. Do you see a real problem this would solve, right now ? | 08:11:27 |
| sm | (Trying not to make things more confusing..) | 08:12:34 |
 @Nebukadneza:ghostdub.de | matrix users could use the matrix room only, and benefit from the added traffic on the irc room without joining 2 rooms | 08:14:41 |
| @Nebukadneza:ghostdub.de | at the same time, irc users are not excluded from matrix conversations | 08:14:58 |
| @Nebukadneza:ghostdub.de | so in the case matrix takes off, irc users still get to know about everything, which is nice IMO | 08:15:32 |
| sm | Currently everybody uses the irc room, for the same effect. Isn’t that simpler ? | 08:16:29 |
| @Nebukadneza:ghostdub.de | well, stops/makes it harder for everyone from eventually move to the more modern technology because of mass-pressure | 08:17:21 |
| sm | I don’t quite see/understand that | 08:18:30 |
| @Nebukadneza:ghostdub.de | hmm | 08:20:24 |
| sm | We can chat more about it.. and maybe in a bigger room would be good. but afk a little, must do some yoga 🧘🏻♂️ | 08:21:10 |
 hpd | One difference is that you are not admin in a portal room and can't switch to matrix-only, should IRC disappear or have problems or whatever. Also, a plumbed room would allow bridging to even more services at the same time | 08:25:18 |
| sm | That makes sense. So far I’ve thought of Freenode as the more well understood and reliable service, but that could flip in time | 08:29:52 |
| hpd | That's true, it certainly is more stable | 08:32:18 |
| @Nebukadneza:ghostdub.de | i just like the idea of being able to talk to everyone regardless of the technology used | 08:36:04 |
| @Nebukadneza:ghostdub.de | and the more interconnected, the more people can meet | 08:36:22 |
| @Nebukadneza:ghostdub.de | for example someone might not be able to use irc because their are unable to use the clients or their network blocks is — otoh, https for matrix does work | 08:36:58 |
| @Nebukadneza:ghostdub.de | or a die-hard IRCer refuses matrix because of the lack of good commandline clients | 08:37:15 |
| @Nebukadneza:ghostdub.de | i’d still like to talk to both of them — in the same place | 08:37:25 |
| @Nebukadneza:ghostdub.de | and if those 2 can communicate with each other - even better | 08:37:36 |
| sm | I think we have that now.. irc users and gui chat users in one place. Granted there are some hassles like irc users don’t like it if you quote past messages, but probably there will be similar issues if plumbed | 08:48:18 |

 @bradyt:matrix.org | haha, the image, "dr suess is 'plain text'" | 17:20:38 |
| @bradyt:matrix.org | but human conditions encoded to be consumable by kids | 17:21:41 |
| sm | I was thinking green eggs and ham, strange bedfellows, plain text and accounting | 17:33:27 |
| sm | and it's what I found nearby :) | 17:33:36 |
| @bradyt:matrix.org | nice | 17:33:58 |
| sm | also I like the guy's expression, it's like a new plain text accounting user | 17:34:18 |
| @bradyt:matrix.org | lol | 17:34:27 |
