Good morning/evening, and thanks for your time.
As you probably know, Ubuntu now has an official Matrix homeserver for
projects and Ubuntu members to use. While it has had some rough edges
that needed sorted out (federation being the main one), those rough
edges are mostly fixed now. I and a large number of Ubuntu contributors
are now regularly using the new homeserver, and I've switched over to it
as my sole Matrix account, keeping my older matrix.org account around
only for emergencies or niche uses (testing, for instance). It's been
stable enough for everything I need. The only serious rough edge that
still needs fixed is IRC bridging, and the Matrix Council is cooperating
with Canonical IS and the Libera.Chat admins to get that going.
The Lubuntu project has migrated our chats to Matrix with great success,
and have only been using IRC sporadically since then. Since more and
more of the Ubuntu world is migrating to Matrix, it might be in
Kubuntu's best interest to migrate to Matrix also, so that we have one
unified communication platform for everything. This will not exclude the
use of IRC, and once bridging is enabled the Matrix and IRC platforms
should interoperate as well or better as when the EMS
Matrix-to-Libera.Chat bridge was active.
I am an Ubuntu Matrix Operator, and work closely with the Matrix Council
to help work out solutions to any issues that are encountered with the
new Matrix homeserver and the communities that migrate there. If you
have any questions, you can feel free to contact either me or the
members of the Matrix Council (who are listed at
https://launchpad.net/~matrix-council/+members#active).
Thanks for your consideration, and have a good day!
