I’ve been enjoying chatting on IRC and was wondering if anyone has any relevant experience with any bouncers?

I tried setting up ZNC but could not get any clients to work with it.

I finally settled on soju with goguma as client, but since no up-to-date Docker container existed, I had to create my own Dockerfile for that.

For now, it’s only available on my LAN (proxied through nginx), and am uncertain if exposing it externally is a good idea (I already have a VPN, but prefer to expose services if it’s safe to do so).

      If you still don’t understand why people use IRC then we clearly didn’t make the same point, and you misunderstood mine.

        I don’t think anyone still recognizes this wisdom you seem to be all about.

        Enlightening us with that wisdom would be beneficial to everyone, no?

          Quoting my previous comment:

          Why move an entire community to matrix if IRC works fine?

          In other words, why “fix” it (and risk fragmenting the community) if it ain’t broke?

            Because IRC doesn’t “work fine”.

            It’s a 50-year old solution to no modern problems where everything about it has been solved in better ways.
