This is still not a selling point for Matrix against IRC to be honest. Because one can set up an IRC server just as well as a Matrix server. So, I would not mention this in the article. I have the gut feeling that what KDE can only fairly claim is that some people prefer Matrix over IRC. We are all different and that is fine. I would not even use the term "better" or "worse" for either. It is just different. That is all. It is ok to be different though. > The article is alright now. > > -- > Best regards, > Hans Tovetjärn (totte) > to...@chakralinux.org > 0x9731B8FCED15437F
