If you have a bucket with this warning, it isn't using Hive yet but the old backend that had scalability issues… which is why Hive is replacing it!

It's been posted in some Discord servers, which is where I come from, I don't think sharing the link with communities is forbidden, is it?

Yeah, I have experienced that as well and I get your point, that's mainly why we have created a whole structure and registered an organization, even if we can never predict what will happen next we can always do our best to get the odds in our favour.

Unfortunately, the best alternative would probably be the P2P way, with something like https://matrix.org/ which also seems to be nice.

Obviously I'm on DomIRC, but also on freenode like probably a lot of us.

I mainly hang in ##france, #bfnt, #botters, #codebottle and #freenode related channels, among a lot of others channels but the list is way too long ;)

Well, it is controlled by a non-profit organization already funded by something else.

There are no profits created by this network, so even if it does not work well, we will not lose money.

About the organization itself, it has others activities maintaining it alive.

As the President of Blackfields Network, the parent organization of DomIRC, I swear we will maintain this network as long as we exist.

Yeah. In fact, there is a lot of networks but they are made because people want to experiment and operate a server then they wonder what they could use it for. Here, well, we had a goal and IRC was a solution, as once you have your channel you just have to add an iframe on your website and tadam, a fully functioning live webchat with permissions! ;)

To clear that up a bit, you can register a channel like #domain.tld only if you control the DNS zone of the said domain, and you can't get op in a primary channel without registering it first.
