I stuck with IRC for a while out of hate for Slack and then I moved to Discord out of hate for Slack. I use a chatroom which is bridged between IRC/Slack/Discord. Teams feels a lot like a half-baked (maybe 3/4 baked) response to Slack that could really be so much more. I see my team on teams, I converse with them on teams, I have access to my backlog items on teams (with an azure plugin), but why can't I see my team's board? vs.com's UI takes some getting used to, but at the very least it seems like it should be accessible, with very little additional work, within teams. One thing that kind of kills me - we use too for git (incidentally, it's interesting to see a strong tfs team struggling with git - vs/git integration is useful only if you're relative comfortable with git in the first place), and there doesn't seem to be any kind of strong integration between vs.com and ms teams. I'm not sure if it's because nobody's comfortable using it for anything other than skype meetings, or because it somehow seems less intuitive or well thought out as slack. I'm using Teams at work, and it seems remarkably less so.
I've used slack for school, and it was pretty useful.

Is that a law? I feel like that should be a law: In fact, things like videos and images poping up all over the place on chat platforms like Telegram and Discord are just annoying most of the time anyway. which, again, is good enough for me most of the time. Also, with IRC one could at least always post links to external image/video/audio hosting sites, if you wanted to share that sort of media. But for me, who does 99.9% of my chatting in plain text, those other features are very rarely necessary and IRC suits my needs just fine. and if you need those features, then vanilla IRC certainly isn't good enough. That said, they do have some advantages, like integrated images, video, and audio. Which is great for private channels, but for channels that you want anyone with an interest in the subject to join, it's simply awful. On Discord and Telegram, I have to find a link to the channel somehow or get invited. At least on IRC I could always try typing in a channel like #gentoo or #linux or #debian or #ocaml or #scheme or #lisp or #emacs or #vim, etc, and have a pretty good chance of these subject-related channels existing. There's also no way to get the logs if you're not logged in, or if you ever lose access to the servers for some reason.ĭiscoverability on these alternate chat platforms is also really poor.

I've tried various other popular chat options (like Discord and Telegram) and have been really frustrated by some of their limitations - particularly in regards to logging, where afaik there's no way to get the logs off their servers and on to my own machine for archiving, offline browsing/searching, advanced regex searches, etc. Freenode is still running strong, and is probably the best place for live support for a ton of open source projects and Linux distros. Why, why can't we have both? Why is decentralised, open source, configurable, modern and easyĪbsolutely. Being "outnumbered 99 to 1" not only reveals how you think of yourself as some kind of victim, but also implies that you exist in some strange reality where being in the minority is the 'right' side to be on. The fact that you think I am is the reason you'd never get any middle ground accomplished. I'm sorry i don't force feed myself nails for breakfast to get an extra dose of iron like you do, but forgive me for thinking there must be some sort of way where you can have both open source AND modern features! Wow, what a new concept for you hackers who just can't help but do everything the hard way even if it's totally unnecessary.įor what it's worth, I do some things the hard way. Somehow, you're never welcome if you ever take an easy approach. This was the exact reaction I expected to see on HN.
