I am in several IRC channels using an XMPP transport. OpenStreetMap, Wikidata/Wikipedia and several other projects have public IRC channels and I am really glad they do, because more and more projects have started using walled gardens like Discord or Telegram for their communications.

It's really annoying that all these new projects are using Telegram. Discord I can handle, but Telegram is a pain to setup. I'm not gonna plug my phone number into some botnet.

yes , I can feel this pain, I feel that all this option discord, telegram etc are not much programmable
