# Chat
|
||||
|
||||
At the moment we host an IRC, Matrix, and a Jitsi server for
|
||||
anyone to join and get chatting.
|
||||
Anarchy Planet hosts several chat and communication services:
|
||||
|
||||
- IRC: [https://irc.anarchyplanet.org](https://irc.anarchyplanet.org)
|
||||
- Matrix: [https://anarchy.chat](https://anarchy.chat)
|
||||
- Jitsi: [https://jitsi.anarchy.chat](https://jitsi.anarchy.chat)
|
||||
- Cwtch
|
||||
|
||||
The IRC and Matrix are bridged together--There are IRC-only channels and Matrix-only channels, and there are channels where the two are intertwined and you can join IRC and chat with Matrix users and vice versa.
|
||||
|
||||
Our most popular bridged channels are:
|
||||
|
||||
| #library | unofficial official channel for https://theanarchistlibrary.org |
|
||||
| #anarchyplanet | general anarchy discussion. for fun! for anarchy. |
|
||||
| #anarchistnews | unofficial official channel for https://anarchistnews.org |
|
||||
| #tech | all things tech: hacking, troubleshooting, vi vs. emacs rap battles |
|
||||
| #nihilism | negation, poetry, lo-fi chaos beats to study to |
|
||||
| #help | join this channel if you have any questions about IRC, Matrix, or Anarchy Planet |
|
||||
|
||||
## IRC
|
||||
|
||||
Point your IRC client to the following addresses and connect!
|
||||
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a (plain)text-based chat system. You'll find no frills here, just text and esoteric commands like `/list` to view all available channels on the server. No registration is required, and it's anonymous (and we don't store IPs). There is no channel history: IRC users who are not in the channel cannot see what has been said. You can also create your own channels with your own topics. And we have a fun bot! Great in a terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
- [irc.anarchyplanet.org:6697 - TLS](ircs://irc.anarchyplanet.org:6697)
|
||||
- [irc.anarchyplanet.org:6667](irc://irc.anarchyplanet.org:6667)
|
||||
- i2b23rgkhpfcwyi5v7yyaeyhcarbqxxdm76ommzpno6245aufja5arqd.onion:6697/6667
|
||||
### How to connect
|
||||
There are two ways to connect to the IRC:
|
||||
|
||||
The most active channels are #anarchyplanet | #matrix | #library
|
||||
- Use the web client: visit https://irc.anarchyplanet.org in your browser.
|
||||
- Use an IRC client: Download an IRC client, and connect to the server at `irc.anarchyplanet.org/6697`. Make sure you enable SSL connection as the port 6697 is SSL only. There's also an onion address: `i2b23rgkhpfcwyi5v7yyaeyhcarbqxxdm76ommzpno6245aufja5arqd.onion/6667`
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that most clients by default store chat logs of any channel that a user is logged in to. This communication platform is only as secure as you are.
|
||||
Once you're connected to the IRC, use `/list` to view a list of our public rooms. For more information about how to use IRC check out this [tutorial](https://opensource.com/life/16/6/irc-quickstart-guide). To learn about some settings you might want to enable on the Anarchy Planet server, go [here](irc.md).
|
||||
|
||||
### IRC Clients
|
||||
Please note that most IRC clients store chat logs of any channel that a user is logged in to, by default (this would be no different than, say, that user copy/pasting those logs). As all online/digital communication this platform is only as secure as you are.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are instructions for a few of the most popular clients:
|
||||
|
||||
#### GUI
|
||||
- [Pidgin](https://pidgin.im/help/protocols/irc/)
|
||||
- [HexChat](https://hexchat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#quick-start)
|
||||
- [Web Client](https://irc.anarchyplanet.org)
|
||||
- [hexchat](https://hexchat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html)
|
||||
- [pidgin](https://pidgin.im/help/protocols/irc/)
|
||||
|
||||
#### CLI
|
||||
- [Irssi](https://irssi.org/New-users/)
|
||||
- [Weechat](https://weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_quickstart.en.html)
|
||||
#### terminal
|
||||
- [weechat](https://weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_quickstart.en.html)
|
||||
- [irssi](https://irssi.org/New-users/)
|
||||
|
||||
## Matrix
|
||||
|
||||
We offer a Matrix homeserver ([riot.anarchyplanet.org](https://riot.anarchyplanet.org)). To register an account just enter the registration code `aplanet` during sign-up\*. You can connect using the web client [anarchy.chat](https://anarchy.chat), or any [Matrix client](https://matrix.org/clients/) by changing the homeserver address to `https://riot.anarchyplanet.org`.
|
||||
[Matrix](https://matrix.org) is a more modern chat system with many frills. It is decentralized, i.e., federated, so users on our server can communicate with users on any other (federated) Matrix server. Chats and rooms can be end-to-end encrypted, and it can save a persistent chat history. It has user avatars and voice/video chat and rooms and spaces and threads and widgets and bots and file attachments and emojis and stickers and polls and probably a bunch of other stuff as
|
||||
well.
|
||||
|
||||
Registration is required, but it is still anonymous (no email is necessary, and no IP addresses are stored).
|
||||
|
||||
### How to connect
|
||||
|
||||
To connect to Matrix, first visit [https://anarchy.chat]( https://anarchy.chat ) to create an account with our homeserver, `riot.anarchyplanet.org` (you will need to enter `aplanet` for the registration token). Alternatively, create an account with our homeserver at [https://app.element.io](https://app.element.io) by changing the homeserver to `riot.anarchyplanet.org` during the registration process. Or you can create an account with any homeserver using any Matrix client (e.g., `matrix.org`; Matrix is federated so different homeservers can all talk to each other).
|
||||
|
||||
*Not supported by Element on iOS, so use another client to register for the first time.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you're registered, there are two ways to connect:
|
||||
|
||||
- Use the web client: https://anarchy.chat
|
||||
- Use a Matrix client. Some of the more common ones are:
|
||||
- [element](https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/element/) (gui)
|
||||
- [gomuks](https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/gomuks/) (terminal)
|
||||
|
||||
Once you're connected, you can browse our public rooms through your client.
|
||||
|
||||
## Jitsi
|
||||
|
||||
[Jitsi](https://jitsi.org) is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted platform for video conferencing (like Zoom without all the egregious privacy violations). Unlike Jitsi's own hosted instance, [https://meet.jit.si](https://meet.jit.si), which now [requires registration](https://jitsi.org/blog/authentication-on-meet-jit-si/) from either Facebook, Google, or Github, the Anarchy Planet instance does not.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use it by visiting [https://jitsi.anarchy.chat](https://jitsi.anarchy.chat) in your browser.
|
||||
|
||||
\*Not supported by Element on iOS, so use another client to register
|
||||
for the first time.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cwtch
|
||||
|
||||
Anarchyplanet also hosts a public Cwtch server, which can used for asynchronous communications and to host cwtch.im groups. Below is the server bundle you can add in your client to use the server:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
server:eyJLZXlzIjp7ImJ1bGxldGluX2JvYXJkX29uaW9uIjoiZDN5aHM0M2dibWwzYmF1dDZ3NXNtd2JzZXQ2dzJ2c2ViYzR3c3loZ2tqYnV2ZzZlemtiaGpzYWQiLCJwcml2YWN5X3Bhc3NfcHVibGljX2tleSI6IlBtTFJ5dGRLZmg0NDl0eDhEQzZZQktyZXBOR0lqZFFlZEk0dnhzRmlTMEE9IiwidG9rZW5fc2VydmljZV9vbmlvbiI6Im43Nmk2NWZucHR2d3d1dmlmeXZqZGVzY2hoZXF2bXI0Y3J3ZHFzdmoydjVkbWdjejJ4YnYzZmlkIn0sIlNpZ25hdHVyZSI6IlFZa3lmRXlXMCtHUjRUSndKMWJ3cElHTkpjdXliTFI4enlsbjlvUkRHemxES3phMTJqVlNHSXF6anBnQkFFQ1NDRGRiZExXNUt4Z202S2pCQ25QM0NRPT0ifQ==
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Cwtch](https://cwtch.im/) (pronounced "kutch", to rhyme with "butch") is open-source, decentralized chat infrastructure. All communication is end-to-end encrypted and takes place over Tor v3 onion servers, and it strives to prevent metadata from being stored anywhere or shared without consent.
|
||||
|
||||
Anarchyplanet also hosts a public Cwtch server, which can used for asynchronous communications and to host cwtch.im groups. Below is the server bundle you can add in your client to use the server:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
server:eyJLZXlzIjp7ImJ1bGxldGluX2JvYXJkX29uaW9uIjoiZDN5aHM0M2dibWwzYmF1dDZ3NXNtd2JzZXQ2dzJ2c2ViYzR3c3loZ2tqYnV2ZzZlemtiaGpzYWQiLCJwcml2YWN5X3Bhc3NfcHVibGljX2tleSI6IlBtTFJ5dGRLZmg0NDl0eDhEQzZZQktyZXBOR0lqZFFlZEk0dnhzRmlTMEE9IiwidG9rZW5fc2VydmljZV9vbmlvbiI6Im43Nmk2NWZucHR2d3d1dmlmeXZqZGVzY2hoZXF2bXI0Y3J3ZHFzdmoydjVkbWdjejJ4YnYzZmlkIn0sIlNpZ25hdHVyZSI6IlFZa3lmRXlXMCtHUjRUSndKMWJ3cElHTkpjdXliTFI4enlsbjlvUkRHemxES3phMTJqVlNHSXF6anBnQkFFQ1NDRGRiZExXNUt4Z202S2pCQ25QM0NRPT0ifQ==```
