Dear Hackage/Cabal devs, geekosaur created a purely Matrix room for us and shared the admin bit with me: https://matrix.to/#/#hackage:matrix.org We'd be happy to share more and have you there, at the least! This is prompted by the announcement earlier today: https://libera.chat/news/matrix-deportalling tldr; is that the "portal mode" where you can participate in an IRC-first room from Matrix transparently will be decommissioned by the end of the month. Other options are on the table. E.g. I think @fgaz is researching the "plumbing mode" where you have a pure-Matrix room with a connection to a IRC-native room like #hackage@libera.chat, but I don't know enough about it. As far as I understand, this new room I'm announcing here does not close any doors. Personally, I'd hope that we all just move to Matrix and forget the IRC horror where we suggest newcomers to use a paid (!!!) solution like IRCCloud if they want to address a question to Cabal devs (who only hang out on IRC) and have a better than 1970s-experience (and a mobile client). -- Kind regards, Artem
