Candidates for Mozilla's IRC Successor

Thanks, I was not aware of ma1sd. I saw Gridepo but it seems to solve different problems.

I felt as though getting Matrix 95% up and running was relatively straight-forward, but I spent far too long trying to configure self-registration, email verification and domain whitelisting through mxisd that I gave up. These don't seem like uncommon scenarios for organisations wishing to run their own Matrix instance.

In contrast, a Mattermost instance that supported self-registration and domain whitelisting was up and running in almost no time.

The config generator will be a welcome addition. I will probably revisit Matrix some time in the future.

hm. self registration, domain whitelisting and email verification are all handled by the homeserver these days - you don’t need an identity server for it. combined with the graphical installer that hopefully lands today, we should be massively improved.
