So I never could get on with Matrix. It's slow, the clients are annoying, and the servers are hard to run. Back to it is! Feel free to add me for some old school instant messaging: fastfinge@im.interfree.ca.

@jonathan859 The web console is fully accessible. For apps, I'm using miranda-ng on Windows, and Monal on IOS and mac.

@pixelate @jonathan859 It's so refreshing to use a thing that's not a bloated web app honestly. And if you set up the contact list for blind folks during install it's fully accessible. Even reads out messages as they come in.

@fastfinge @pixelate I've downloaded the Disscord zip file. Yeah RTFM would be an option, but where do I have to put the files to get this working?

@fastfinge @pixelate @jonathan859 @FreakyFwoof you know I was looking for that thing so I could at least do the base stuff and then add whatsApp discord and steam to the plugins.

@fastfinge @FreakyFwoof @pixelate @jonathan859 How well does it handle things like discord. Honestly discord's interface is what's keeping me from doing more with it. I'm on the hearthstone access server and a few other ones and would love to interact more but gah, discord.

@MariahL @FreakyFwoof @pixelate @jonathan859 So it handles them pretty well. The problem is the awful hCaptcha thing. As usual with discord. If it fails, you need to log in with your browser, do the captcha crap, then log in again with Miranda, and it should work.

@fastfinge @FreakyFwoof @pixelate @jonathan859 HCaptcha is why we can't have nice things.

@MariahL @fastfinge @FreakyFwoof @pixelate The WhatsApp plugin wants me to replace a file in libs, it somehow can't though, apparently it's in use. Is that important?

@jonathan859 @FreakyFwoof @pixelate @MariahL You can also go to options, then plugins, and it has an interface that will install them for you.
