In this episode, I share my growing frustration with Matrix and my decision to switch back to IRC for mass communications. I discuss the issues I've experienced with Matrix, including server downtime, censorship, and protocol problems. I explain why I'm drawn to IRC's reliability, stability, and ability to maintain anonymity and privacy. I also announce the launch of an IRC channel for LibertyBytes, where I'll be sharing updates and engaging with listeners.

The LibertyBytes IRC channel

https://intr.cx port 6697 /join #LibertyBytes

It is also accessible over tor and i2p if you are inclined to go that route.

It runs Ergo for IRCv3 support with IP cloaking is enabled. Hostname lookup is also disabled. You will need to use SASL for the registration. It also has a built in bouncer so you wont miss the conversation if you're not logged in. You can opt out of it if you wish. Instructions are on Interlopers site.

I'm going to cover these upcoming topics next, after I learn some more about them. They are exciting and interesting as hell to me.
