Throughout my time using Lemmy, I have learned about the populations of a bunch of different instances and have made accounts on several different ones based on what I find. However, I’m about to make a Matrix account and this is a whole new ball game. Which server should I choose/avoid making my account on? Does it really matter as much as it does on Lemmy?

    Why’s that? Simplicity and low overhead? Or is it an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” situation?

      Irc works fine, people I know are there, and matrix has always seemed too attention -seeky for my tastes.

          So for Ubuntu, it’s popular enough to have communities on irc, discord, matrix, etc.

          I wanted to be in a Linux community in 2006 and discovered irc, and even then it was retro.

          As the years have gone by I’ve tried the other sites, but imo text only has a vibe that you only get through that limitation. I get that images are a popular feature, but I prefer irc.

          Matrix lost me with how awful the key crap was and element is really unpleasant to use.
