I'll repeat my old take on #matrix, #XMPP and #IRC chat protocols.

These protocols are open, thus there is no reason to not make them interoperable.

In the end users dont care about protocol, they care about client. And users can choose any client they wish.

If all three can be seamlessly talk to each other, we'll have beautiful solution.

Even better if it can be done without bridges (or the bridges are built in to clients/protocols)

Instead of fighting over "the one true protocol" we should make them as seamlessly interoperable as possible!

We have zero excuse. These three (and probably more!) are all open.

I would love to help as well.

@aks the closest one can reliably get to that idea right now is an #Ergo #IRC network with first party gateways allowing access from #XMPP and #Matrix. I run such a network and while I wish the current gateways had better #IRCv3 support, it is working quite well overall.

@kris having irc propagate the messages is imo the messiest way, unless both xmpp and matrix see them as ghost users that look like regular ones

@aks yes this is how and -irc work, all users are "real" users on all three protocols.

@matrix @xmpp thoughts?

@aks @xmpp We are all in on interoperability.

We are far less worried about Matrix vs XMPP than we are about open and decentralized vs closed and centralized. We have far more in common than not.
