## A couple of words on protocols
|
||||
|
||||
* IRC was invented in 1988 and regardless of developing integrated message
|
||||
storage since then, it's still trivial to setup and runs well on a toaster.
|
||||
IRC servers are generally [easy to enable Tor support on](https://github.com/ergochat/ergo/blob/master/docs/MANUAL.md#tor) and IRC clients
|
||||
widely come with [proxy settings](https://hexchat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tips.html#tor) where [Tor can be enabled](https://weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_user.en.html#irc_tor_sasl). My personal
|
||||
IRC history begins in 2010 as user and since then I have also opered
|
||||
mostly on Charybdis+Atheme and nowadays on a couple of Ergos.
|
||||
* XMPP runs on a bit more powerful toaster and the servers talk to each other

* *XMPP* runs on *a bit more powerful toaster* and the servers talk to each other
|
||||
without prior approval, it was originally introduced in 1999. I don't have
|
||||
a record on when I begun using it as all multi-protocol chat apps that were
|
||||
common even before 2010 supported it. I haven't had a need or desire to selfhost.

* *Telegram* was introduced in 2013 and is a popular *instant messenger* with
|

many *open source clients (not server)* also on minority platforms (by third
|
||||
parties). It's favoured by many for stickers and ease-to-use, while that
|
||||
comes with concern on security and privacy.
|
||||
* Matrix was introduced in 2014 and I started using it in 2016. Many of the
|
||||
client and server implementations are heavy, especially on server side requiring what to outside looks
|
||||
like a constant maintenance to deal with the implementation performance issues,
|
||||
I am not interested in even trying to selfhost a Matrix (home)server and bridges
|
||||
until the situation significantly improves. [Matrix clients also seldom support connecting through Tor easily](https://github.com/vector-im/element-meta/issues/200),
|
||||
while the [Synapse server by Matrix.org team doesn't support connecting](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5152) through [I2P or Tor](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5455) at [all](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7088).

## And on transports, relays and bridges
|
||||
|
||||
* One of the marketing points of XMPP was to connect to other protocols by
|
||||
means of transports. They plug into a XMPP server and can be provided either
|
||||
by yours or be open for other XMPP servers.
|
||||
* The word relay is often used on bots which copy messages from one protocol/network
|
||||
and paste (or more simply said relay) it to another. They aren't transparent and thus the

|
||||
* The word *relay* is often used on *bots which copy messages from one protocol/network
|
||||
and paste (or more simply said relay) it to another*. They aren't transparent and thus the
|
||||
messages from them appear to be coming from bots beginning with the message
|
||||
sender instead of being completely transparent. This is what is commonly
|
||||
used on IRC to connect to other IRC networks or protocols.
|
||||
* Matterbridge regardless of the name acts like a relay. Like IRC and XMPP,
|
||||
it also runs on a toaster requiring only [the binary](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/releases)
|
||||
and a [config file](https://gitea.blesmrt.net/mikaela/gist/src/branch/master/irc/matterbridge/matterbridge-example.toml)

|
||||
* *[Recent IRC development allows (RELAYMSG)](https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/pull/417)*
|
||||
allows relays to be transparent making messages appear from users outside
|
||||
of the channel that don't actually exist. This is similar to Discord webhooks
|
||||
(that Matterbridge also supports) and Matrix Discord bridge.
|
||||
* Common complaint from Matrix users is that they look ugly, but as shown
|
||||
by IRC and Discord, that doesn't have to be the case
|
||||
[and I hope Matrix will fix their issue allowing low-budget "toasterbridges"](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/issues/840).
|
||||
* Bridges are popularised by Matrix and are almost XMPP transports. However
|
||||
while XMPP transports connect to the other protocol, bridges attempt to
|
||||
copy everything on both sides so Matrix users see each other directly instead
|
||||
of through the transport on the other side and on the other side of open protocols
|
||||
Matrix users can be interacted with as if they were native to it.
|
||||
* Unlike XMPP, the bridges also tend to be heavy and require a full homeserver
|
||||
setup. The IRC bridge also generally requires blessing from the IRC network
|
||||
and while some public bridges exist, they move the control away from you
|
||||
hijacking the room to their rules and often have performance trouble
|
||||
compared to "local toaster matterbridge".
