My favorite part of this announcement is that all the comments are people saying you should do it differently. I would assume the IRC setup question could be covered by the tilde.chat network? XMPP would be nice though!

What is libre culture?
Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.
Some beliefs include but aren't limited to:
- That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
- That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
- That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
- That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
- That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules
I've looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I've distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.
-
Please show common courtesy: Let's make this community one that people want to be a part of.
-
Please keep posts generally on topic
-
No NSFW content
-
When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”
Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it's perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.

Nah it's just a recommendation since XMPP would suit better their purposes. But it seems like a great project
since XMPP would suit better their purposes.
how do you know? :D
Registration submitted. Love this whole concept (including the use of matrix). Thanks for all of the services.
It's nice but it would be better if you self hosted XMPP since it's fairly lighter to selfhost, especially for individuals and small communities. Matrix seems made for and by enterprises
We already host Matrix and it suits our purposes. The resource usage has gone down a lot since Synapse is being refactored for scalability and performance. I'd wager that if Dendrite ever sees the light of day, it wouldn't be much more resource intensive than prosody.
I installed dendrite via docker on my 13 year old laptop... 2gb of RAM, 2 core CPU. Worked perfectly. Synapse was a push, but if they ever get dendrite up it'll be amazing. Is there a list anywhere of what software you are running? I always enjoyed the message boards on the cli, and things like botany on those shared shells, but I haven't bothered with them since I got my own vps. Might be nice to be social again.
I'm super excited for dendrite.

We ran a few of those services but nobody used them. Currently, it's mostly SSH and web services. If you want something hosted, just ping an admin in matrix or via mail and we'll try to get it up and running ASAP.
This is such a beautiful project.
Looks nice, but why is it matrix intead of irc?
Why IRC instead of Matrix? You'd need a bouncer to get messages when you're not connected, you can't really use rich text, federation is annoying and we already host Matrix.
yeah imo matrix is better in most ways except for being lightweight, though that is also being worked on. irc has a place but for normal use I think matrix is better than irc.
