Time Nickname Message
00:10 πŸ”— britmob has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
00:24 πŸ”— HP_Archiv has joined #archiveteam-ot
00:43 πŸ”— hook54321 (moving from #archiveteamquorum) atphoenix: I don't think Matrix is quite ready. It still has a variety of issues. As far as I know Riot is the only client with support for practically everything (and the UI is bad in my opinion), and Synapse still has issues.
00:50 πŸ”— atphoenix Riot's UI needs improvement, agreed. I'm pretty tech-savvy, and I thought the UI was kludgey. Like Signal it can do encryption. Unlike Signal, it can also do federation. But the UI sucks; people are suckers for eye candy.
01:01 πŸ”— Raccoon If there is one thing Matrix is good at, it's netsplits.
01:01 πŸ”— Raccoon Way better and way more netsplits than EFnet experiences
01:01 πŸ”— Frogging Raccoon: are you talking about the IRC bridge(s) or Matrix itself?
01:01 πŸ”— icedice has joined #archiveteam-ot
01:02 πŸ”— Raccoon If the IRC bridges are any indication, I imagine anything Matrix touches
01:02 πŸ”— Raccoon Don't they go down quite often
01:03 πŸ”— Frogging they seem to, but I don't know whether that reflects instability on Matrix's side or if the IRC bridges are separate
01:03 πŸ”— Raccoon I'd also say that Matrix users are way less attentive than, say, Discord users
01:04 πŸ”— Frogging that sounds like a meaningless broad generalization
01:04 πŸ”— Raccoon broad generalizations help us navigate the world and identify quality over quantity
01:04 πŸ”— Raccoon :)
01:05 πŸ”— Raccoon But when I ping people on Matrix, they usually never get back to me. Discord, they usually do, and even with expedience
01:05 πŸ”— JAA From what I've heard, the bridges are awful.
01:05 πŸ”— JAA Cf. https://www.hackint.org/#20181028_Matrix_Bridging_Sunset
01:06 πŸ”— Frogging Raccoon: maybe the Matrix clients don't have good notifications. but that's pure speculation on my part since I've never used Matrix
01:07 πŸ”— Raccoon I'm of the impression that Discord is much more developer friendly, as far as bots and such go
01:08 πŸ”— Frogging a proprietary, centralized protocol with a ToS that explicitly disallows third-party clients is not in any way developer friendly.
01:08 πŸ”— Raccoon Discord?
01:08 πŸ”— Frogging yes, discord
01:09 πŸ”— Raccoon It's developer friendly because you can connect your own node-js clients to it, with hand holding ease
01:09 πŸ”— Frogging I can't tell if you're being serious. Do you have a point?
01:09 πŸ”— Kaz we tried the discord thing
01:09 πŸ”— Kaz it didn't work
01:09 πŸ”— Kaz we're not doing the matrix thing
01:09 πŸ”— Raccoon and users can interact with thsoe bots on discord like they were people
01:09 πŸ”— Frogging Discord seems antithetical to ArchiveTeam as well
01:10 πŸ”— JAA ^
01:10 πŸ”— JAA And we'd be breaking their ToS in a kind of impressive number of ways.
01:10 πŸ”— Raccoon so if people like ivan want to have bots like !sa <link>, they can exist on Discord, and few other places
01:10 πŸ”— Kaz JAA: that's not a good argument against it though
01:10 πŸ”— Kaz that's kinda been our thing recently, breaking TOSs
01:10 πŸ”— Raccoon not sure how it's breaking ToS when it's actively invited
01:10 πŸ”— Kaz (but yes, we're still not doing discord again)
01:11 πŸ”— Frogging it's for-profit and likely to shut down or be sold off when it fails to make a profit, as all such services do eventually
01:11 πŸ”— JAA Kaz: I mean, breaking ToS of sites we archive, sure. But we could easily get kicked off Discord if someone complained about us to them enough.
01:12 πŸ”— Raccoon personally, I think IRC is better. It just doesn't have the userbase that Discord does, advancing projects like Flashpoint/FlashFreeze and Lost Media Wiki
01:12 πŸ”— JAA ("Someone" being e.g. a disgruntled site owner.)
01:12 πŸ”— Frogging It's also antithetical to ArchiveTeam because it has no data migration story
01:12 πŸ”— Raccoon those projects are very successful because they're on Discord
01:12 πŸ”— Raccoon probably no other reason
01:12 πŸ”— Kaz I have a solution to all of this
01:12 πŸ”— Kaz ircs://irc.hackint.org:6697
01:13 πŸ”— hook54321 JAA: they're apparently considering trying it again https://twitter.com/hackintirc/status/1212865843631153153
01:13 πŸ”— Raccoon Kaz: Why is some second rate tiny immature IRC server superior to, say, EFnet?
01:13 πŸ”— Raccoon with only like 2000 users connected to it
01:13 πŸ”— Frogging https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=User:JustAnotherArchivist/hackint_vs_EFnet
01:13 πŸ”— Kaz who gives a shit how many people are connected to it
01:14 πŸ”— Kaz fewer netsplits, better (i.e they exist) services
01:14 πŸ”— Raccoon Frogging: that list is bogus, because it boils down to hackint having only 3 or 4 servers and virtually no server load / users.
01:14 πŸ”— Kaz so far, no pedo ascii spam on hackint
01:14 πŸ”— Raccoon wow.
01:14 πŸ”— JAA hook54321: Right, I guess the bridges may have improved in the last 1.5 years. I haven't heard anyone praising them so far though. #wget on Freenode is also awful to use because the devs use Matrix bridges.
01:14 πŸ”— Raccoon measure of success right there
01:15 πŸ”— Kaz I'm pretty sure JAA's script would autoban me if I posted some of the stuff we've had in the past
01:15 πŸ”— JAA I'd hope so. :-)
01:15 πŸ”— hook54321 the freenode matrix.org bridge is completely unusable, yeah. apparently it's overloaded.
01:16 πŸ”— Kaz also, based on the uptime here I'd consider efnet closer to 'second rate' than hackint
01:16 πŸ”— JAA sets mode: +o Kaz
01:16 πŸ”— Kaz efnet is the senile old bloke in the pub, can't remember where he's supposed to be or what he's supposed to do
01:17 πŸ”— Raccoon another reason I would suggest giving Discord a look, is because an apparently significant proportion of AT users are already active on Discord in other projects, and regularly talk about ArchiveTeam
01:17 πŸ”— Kaz discord is still a no
01:17 πŸ”— JAA We're not going to Discord.
01:17 πŸ”— Raccoon in just those two afformentioned projects above
01:17 πŸ”— Frogging Discord is a laughable suggestion
01:17 πŸ”— Frogging honestly
01:17 πŸ”— Raccoon Kaz, JAA: citation please?
01:17 πŸ”— Kaz me, now, 2020
01:17 πŸ”— JAA "<@JAA> We're not going to Discord."
01:17 πŸ”— Kaz ayy
01:18 πŸ”— Raccoon JAA: meritous bullet points or rude authoritarianism?
01:18 πŸ”— JAA I think it's been explained in enough detail above.
01:18 πŸ”— Frogging [20:11:25] <Frogging> it's for-profit and likely to shut down or be sold off when it fails to make a profit, as all such services do eventually
01:18 πŸ”— Raccoon so, freenode and github
01:18 πŸ”— hook54321 Raccoon: https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=history
01:19 πŸ”— Kaz here's the thing
01:19 πŸ”— Frogging [20:12:08] <Frogging> It's also antithetical to ArchiveTeam because it has no data migration story
01:19 πŸ”— JAA Maybe I should make a page similar to my EFnet list about why Discord can fuck off.
01:19 πŸ”— Kaz we already have a github alternative, and make decent use of it
01:19 πŸ”— Frogging [20:08:20] <Frogging> a proprietary, centralized protocol with a ToS that explicitly disallows third-party clients is not in any way developer friendly.
01:20 πŸ”— Raccoon I don't get how they disallow third-party clients when they give you a tutorial on designing third-party clients (aka bots)
01:20 πŸ”— Kaz i am not a robot
01:20 πŸ”— hook54321 user bots are disallowed
01:20 πŸ”— hook54321 they have gone so far to ban people for theming their client
01:21 πŸ”— Frogging Raccoon: through a tightly controlled API and with restrictive conditions
01:21 πŸ”— Frogging Seriously, Discord can fuck off forever.
01:21 πŸ”— Kaz here's the thing.. I'm a discord user. I LIKE discord. as a user I have nothing against it, I'm happy to trade whatever data they're getting on me, for the convenience
01:21 πŸ”— Kaz that does not make it suitable for AT
01:22 πŸ”— Raccoon it's where all the users and hoes are at. if interaction and involvement is desired
01:22 πŸ”— Frogging that's not what's desired right now
01:22 πŸ”— Frogging what is desired is a stable platform to continue our existing activities
01:22 πŸ”— hook54321 if they want to participate they can come here
01:23 πŸ”— hook54321 instead of trying to get everyone already here to move there
01:24 πŸ”— Kaz hell, half the time I actually look at IRC i wish there was *less* conversation
01:24 πŸ”— Frogging And yeah, like Kaz alluded to, they are probably collecting and selling your data.
01:24 πŸ”— Raccoon hook54321: that seems to work about as well as butthurt content creators asking people to use Bitchute and Gab instead of YouTube and Twitter.
01:24 πŸ”— Kaz it's not failed us yet.
01:24 πŸ”— hook54321 "Gab"
01:25 πŸ”— Frogging Why do you keep pulling irrelevant crap out of thin air
01:25 πŸ”— Kaz gab is a serious platform for serious people only
01:25 πŸ”— JAA More like PeerTube and Mastodon, which actually have some traction.
01:25 πŸ”— Kaz how dare you suggest anything different
01:25 πŸ”— JAA And guess what, now Twitter is looking into potentially implementing ActivityPub...
01:25 πŸ”— Raccoon Frogging: it's a point in demographics and getting people to change platforms from the popular mainstays to the dusty dark corners of the internet where few people wander
01:25 πŸ”— hook54321 and gab is a fork of mastodon
01:25 πŸ”— Frogging Raccoon: But lack of activity isn't even a problem we're having right now
01:26 πŸ”— Raccoon Frogging: i would consider that it is, but perhaps I'm mislead
01:26 πŸ”— JAA I'm not opposed to there being a place on Discord where people can come and report shutdowns to us. We need to get better with that sort of outreach anyway. But actual AT moving there? Hell no.
01:27 πŸ”— Raccoon EFNet is already a dusty corner of the Internet. HackInt is just dustier still
01:27 πŸ”— JAA Actually no.
01:27 πŸ”— Frogging do you think that most of the people in here discovered this channel through EFNet itself?
01:27 πŸ”— Raccoon at least open some freenode channels, since the intellectual IRC users are already there
01:27 πŸ”— Kaz Hahahahhaha
01:27 πŸ”— JAA EFnet is very dusty, hackint is nice and shiny.
01:28 πŸ”— Frogging I think we're being trolled
01:28 πŸ”— Kaz It’s been a good run
01:28 πŸ”— Raccoon Frogging: well, thanks for othering me
01:29 πŸ”— Frogging Raccoon: wasn't my intention, just a figure of speech
01:29 πŸ”— Frogging I'm not really in any "in-group" here, if that's even a thing
01:29 πŸ”— Raccoon how many efnet users migrated to ivan's new #youtubearchive channel on hackint?
01:29 πŸ”— JAA https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=User:JustAnotherArchivist/Discord
01:29 πŸ”— Raccoon just curious how we're doing a full month in
01:29 πŸ”— JAA For reference when the next guy comes suggest we use Discord.
01:29 πŸ”— JAA Raccoon: Pretty much everyone who used it on EFnet before, I think.
01:29 πŸ”— Raccoon JAA: are you there? what's the current user count
01:29 πŸ”— hook54321 35
01:31 πŸ”— Raccoon I guess that's close enough to the 51 that were there
01:31 πŸ”— Frogging Raccoon: fwiw, I'm only on EFNet because of AT. I'm not loyal to any particular IRC network
01:31 πŸ”— Frogging I'm on many networks
01:34 πŸ”— Frogging You're not wrong, Hackint is smaller, but I doubt people who click the IRC link on the wiki really care what network it's directing them to
01:34 πŸ”— Raccoon irc links are a rarely used fad that rarely work when you click on them
01:34 πŸ”— Raccoon just an observation
01:34 πŸ”— Kaz just like efnet
01:35 πŸ”— Frogging there you go changing the subject again
01:35 πŸ”— Raccoon you brought up irc links, i don't know why
01:35 πŸ”— hook54321 we haven't even moved to hackint yet, you're welcome to make suggestions about other networks.
01:36 πŸ”— Raccoon I will ask Khaled to add Hackint to the mIRC client server list
01:36 πŸ”— Raccoon so at least there's some hope
01:36 πŸ”— Raccoon might also ask on freenode in #weechat and #irssi and #hexchat
01:36 πŸ”— Frogging the key words were "wiki" and "people won't really care what network it's directing them to"
01:36 πŸ”— Raccoon make sure that network is baked into all the popular clients
01:36 πŸ”— hook54321 people can connect to it even if it's not "baked into" the client
01:37 πŸ”— Kaz colour me confused
01:37 πŸ”— Raccoon so it's easier to find with mouse clicks
01:37 πŸ”— Kaz Raccoon wants freenode because it's full of intellectuals, but also wants to babysit people into connecting to hackint
01:38 πŸ”— Raccoon logistics
01:40 πŸ”— Kaz well, hackint is available when you feel like connecting
