What is your favourite chat protocol?

rocket.chat
Ohh, and matrix element too.
The matrix protocol is horribly inefficient. Ask @Erisa, if you want an example.
I have my own chat protocol based on Named Data Networking:

IRC libera.chat
Oh wait...
WhatsApp!
Currently sticking to Matrix because it's the only one that:
a. Is open source
b. Supports encrypted chat (as a core feature)
c. Allows said encrypted chat to be sent using SDK easily. Compared to alternatives, at least.
God, their matrix-js-sdk is incredibly frustrating to use, especially combined with encryption and device verification. Like, it's their main selling point, but there's no proper docs on how to set them up. Also hate how room settings and all kind of non-chat stuff are grouped up with room chat under room event.
Yep, and the protocol is atrocious.
I must have been living under a rock because I've never heard of Matrix.
I'm still rocking IRC.
Mattermost , I'm pretty happy with it and I use it also as a discord alternative to communicate with friends while gaming.

WEaselChat is good but pricey so I think I'll stick with TinyWeaselChat.
IRC, still meaning to try Matrix sometime, and Telegram is the least bad from the centralized ones, at least there are FOSS clients.
Skype is so shit nowadays - Microsoft Teams better, telegram or status
IRC since '95, and my favorite client is weechat

IRC is good.
Is there some kind of “prophecy of the weasel” I’m missing out on, or do threads take random deviations like this over here?
Personally my preference is for Slack.
A while ago, a user named @tinyweasel was making dramas on LET and IRC. Some people think that he DDoSed some users. Every few weeks he come back to LET with his another account. He always asking the same questions.
To be honest, I don't quite understand why he got banned.
Slack & Telegram for business
Discord for community and friends
Text for friends and family
fsirc
fail
I know right! No different than all the other projects.
He was annoying AF.
Forgot to mention the part where he sent fake bomb threats impersonating BuyVM.
He is still here.. say hi to @inland
AOL Instant Messenger
After all, it happens to everyone to send a fake bomb threats.
