Hi,
the internet has always been fragmented. It even has been designed that
way. And especially IRC was already grouped into various servers.
My irc clients all support multiple irc connections and I use them all to have my channel windows available.
A centralized solution like Discord or else just gives more power to a centralized entity.
Think then of Usenet instead. A client connects to a server that has a database of "all" the messages, but the messages are propagated to and from many other servers. To a user it does not matter what server he connects to, the "nntp:opensuse" group will be the same everywhere. Maybe with delays. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
