Fair enough, the server used to host webchat.kde.org is supplied by www.modular.im, so I don't know if it is, strictly speaking, controlled by KDE anyway, any more than the servers of Freenode are. I like both IRC (Freenode, at least) and Matrix and would leave it at that. I'm sure that there has been a discussion prior to the decision made, where the pros and cons of each were presented. -- Best regards, Hans Tovetjärn (totte) [email protected] 0x9731B8FCED15437F
