People come there as it feels good. you can do that with matrix + element (matrix is the network, element is a client - has web ui as well as mobile apps for android too etc.). the contact page tells you about the matrix #e channel: https://www.enlightenment.org/contact you can upload voice messages actually do whole video.voice calls, insert/upload image,s videos and other files. it ALSO integrates to irc seamlessly. i use element on my phone and that';s why you see raster[m] as that is my matrix user in the channel. > > 1.
