edit: I like matrix.io more than discord. I will try to stick with matrix.io but yeah, discord has more people in it though :(

I have many general questions I would like to throw at people about Linux, these don’t require the attention of a post. So, are there any good Linux chat rooms out there? Discord is ok, Telegram or any other open-source or partially open-source service with good interaction is better.

rant: I don’t realize why some people hate Telegram so much, it’s far better than whatsapp and more widespread than other Chatrooms and Servers. And I like the privacy I get on Telegram. I can send a message to anyone without them knowing who I am! That’s amazing!

Thank you for your help!

    The hate on telegram is easy to explain. The server is closed source and you need to give them your phone number. Yes it’s better than whatsapp. But it’s worse than matrix or xmpp.

      Now, you don’t have to give them your phone number tho. I mean, you have to pay for that privilege, but I am ok with that.

      The server is partially open source no? How do you rate anonymity on Matrix? I don’t like the fact that I am associated with an ID one can remember and trace back. I use element.io
