The chat history persistence - and seamless use across devices - is a huge advantage. The other advantage is that you can sign up for and use this system simply and entirely in a web browser, a process people are comfortable with. It is similar to systems they may well already be familiar with, like Slack and Discord. People are not comfortable with setting up IRC and learning to use nickserv. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
